Power NI Price Cut October 2012

Comments

  • Great news. Can't help thinking that by February, bill will be forced to rise by £160 due to global energy price rises or some other carp dreamt up by PowerNI. Cynical I know, but after years of dealing with these people I can't help myself!

    Apparently the repairs/replacement of the dodgey link to Scotland is going to be blamed for the next rise.

    Budget mention Powerni's price reduction on their site and are now reviewing their own price and an announcement will be coming shortly. :j

    I'm truly astonished. They must have been losing customers by the bucketload.

    I still am amazed that Budget Energy only has 2% of the population. I really think they should advertise (have not seen any advertisements that I can recall). Airtricity has 14% which I suppose shows the culture of apathy in NI.

    I'm sure there's more than a few who think that Airtricity and Budget's electricity isn't as good quality as PowerNI's.

    If Budget would just sort out their billing system and make it a heck of a lot easier to understand (i.e. just bill for what you use per month, like Airtricity), I'm sure they'd attract a few additional customers. No idea why they have to make it so complicated.
