We spend ridiculous amount of money on smart meters and instead of forcing operators to introduce dynamic pricing tied to the grid load and wholesale prices we are stuck with very high tarrifs and this is the result.
Also, the prepay electricity that people in arrears are going to be pushed into will only make the problem worse due to criminally high rates. It is like making being poor more expensive on purpose.
Great that the aul data centres can get the electricity on the cheap though. Love subsidising some of the most valuable companies in the world.
And I love even more, the fact that the AI those datacentres serve will then replace all our jobs. Isn’t that just fucking dandy.
If ever an electorate needs an example (not that it hasn’t been obvious for decades) as to how a government tries to buy re-election, this is it. Energy credits suddenly withdrawn in the very first year of the government’s tenure while electricity prices still rose.
A lot of scammers in that cohort.
It’s not all out of not having money. I’m living in a house share, my housemates always wait until they get the overdue notice on the electricity to pay. They are all in employment, our rent is well below market rate.
Our gas bill hasn’t been paid in full since August.
I want to tell the landlord but afraid it’ll backfire on me.
Very annoying and stressful getting all these overdue notices in the post. I pay the moment the bill is out, always before the due date.
Look FFG can’t really be held responsible this time. They are only in government a year or so! Is there nothing to be said for how this is all the Greens fault? /S
It amazes me the amount of corporate bootlickers on this sub who always side with companies in these situations
Is there anything to be said for another data centre?
Need to scrap standing charges and just pay for what you use at a little bit more.
What are the [CRU](https://www.cru.ie/) doing about any of this? They need to be investigated as the public are funding them but they don’t do anything for keeping the private market prices under control.
People who work there previously worked in the Dublin docklands mess and oversaw ABP. The CRU is just another quango mess
