Hi everyone,

Considering a move North of the border. Just wondering what energy prices are like at the moment?

If you can spare a minute, please post as follows:
  • Area of NI you live in,
  • Average monthly electricity bill,
  • Average monthly gas bill.
Thanks! :)

    Are you the first economic refugee? Only joking!
    As of 1 January, the standard domestic unit price is 15.81p per kwh including VAT at 5%. Comparing that with the ESB unit price is more useful, I reckon, than the average monthly bill. It all depends on how much you use.
    Bear in mind that gas is only available in the Greater Belfast area; nearly everybody else depends on heating oil (you can check prices at www.cheapestoil.co.uk).
  • Phoenix gas prices inc VAT
    6.208p per kwh for the first 2000 kwh
    4.132p per kwh for the rest

    as far as I know they are the only supplier in most of NI. Many parts of NI have no natural gas supplier at all. To see where Phoenix serve see this website http://www.phoenix-natural-gas.co.uk/natural-gas/is-natural-gas-available-in-my-street/
