The size of domestic gas and electricity bills have risen sharply over the past two years
Northern Ireland’s largest provider of natural gas, is cut to its prices by 22.8%, from April.
SSE says a typical household customer will save £320.47 a year as a result.
Wholesale natural gas prices have fallen sharply since they peaked after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 – those price falls are now starting to feed through to consumer prices.
Andrew Greer, SSE Airtricity general manager (NI) said he was pleased.
“We know energy costs are a primary concern for customers across Northern Ireland, and that wholesale market volatility has impacted households and business so this price reduction will no doubt provide some welcome relief,” he said.
As the largest incumbent gas supplier SSE prices are regulated by the NI Utility Regulator.
