Bills

ilovesleep

Did anyone else receive their ESB bill? I am extremely conscious of keeping bills to a minimum. I only have one bill that is the ESB and I do my best to keep it as low as possible.

I received my bill today and it comes up to 56 euro and a couple of cents for the electricity usage. Which is good going for two months. However I am required to pay up an extra 36 euro and a couple of cents in standing charges, levy and VAT. So the entire amount to pay comes up to 96 euro roughly.

Absolutely maddening. How is everyone else getting on with bills?

And where, exactly, do you use all this electricity?

As far as I'm aware, it's just Bord Gais raising their electricity prices. They are raising them by 12 % as and from August 1st.

They are justifying it by saying there's been an inrease in wholesale prices - the usual sh!te.
