Commenting on the release Dympna Corry, Statistician in the Environment and Climate Division, said: “This is the first time that this report has been published.
“The Central Statistics Office (CSO) combined national average electricity and gas final consumption prices from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) with metered consumption from ESB Networks and Gas Networks Ireland. The combined files provide estimates of the bill cost at meter level for the period 2015 to 2021.”
