È “impegnativo” spiegare perché i prezzi dell’elettricità dell’Irlanda sono al di sopra di altri paesi, afferma Esri

In other words “why would you ask me that question?”
Same in uk.
I think UK even higher.
It seems to be multiple reasons from different zones all paying same costs, to taxes, to other things thst go over my head.
Hopefully both countries become energy independent so short term pain for long term gain.
Because we accept it and last government almost promoted it.
I remember when other countries dropped, Eamon Ryan came out and said he expected prices here to start to drop in 6 months to a year. Basically gave them a free year of price gouging for no reason.
Because since Russia / Ukraine started all companies have gotten used to putting margins on massively inflated goods. It has been a very good time for business & they don’t want it to stop.
Why should they reduce the prices? People keep paying them
My initial one year fixed contract just ended and the unit price jumped by 50%. Fucking ridiculous! Time to switch provider but the alternatives aren’t a whole lot better…
Because the irish people are just cattle to be milked. You could say the same for everything in ireland. Why is housing/food/electricity/fuel/insurance/rent so expensive and its because that’s how the government like it for some reason.
It’s even more challenging to pay
Ireland’s prices of literally everything*
Greed
1. Tax
2. Reliance on fossil fuels for base
3. Grid has seen a demand increase of over 30% in 10 years, meaning expensive sources stay turned on and price set the market.
Data centres?
Xz la union enough uo
U far
The boring answer:
Poorly connected grid, subsidised renewables and reliance on imported gas.
Is it because ‘price-gouging’ sounds too accusatory.
Like in 2020 when oil prices internationally were net negative in price, we increased our petrol, dowse and kerosene prices at the filling stations.
