Northern households facing 11% rise in electricity prices
01/03/2006 - 13:32:35The company that provides electricity supplies in the North has announced an 11% price rise from April of this year.
The increase is lower than expected as Northern Ireland Electricity had warned earlier this year that it could push up prices by 20%.
The 11% rise will see the average household paying an extra £3.10 (€4.50) every month.
NIE said the hike was needed due to rising international fuel prices.
