Pinergy, the energy transition company, has today announced an increase to its standard residential electricity prices from Monday 13th October 2025. The price change is in response to a rise in external costs including electricity system operator & network charges as well as continuing volatility in wholesale energy costs.
These regulatory approved non-energy charges, which are applied to electricity suppliers, are required to recover the costs of ensuring security of supply, addressing network constraints and investing in the electricity grid.
The latest change will result in a 9.83% increase to the typical household cost which is equivalent to €199 annually (incl. VAT) in an Estimated Annual Bill (EAB) based on a domestic customer using typical consumption per annum on standard tariffs. There is no change to Standing Charges. Residential Microgeneration payments will also remain at 25c per kWh
Pinergy CEO, Enda Gunnell, says: “Unfortunately, the increase of 34% in electricity network charges over the last two years mean that we will be increasing the costs of electricity to our residential customers next month. This is our first increase after three price decreases that we made over 2023 and into 2024. Last year, we absorbed increased network charges approved by the CRU (Commission for Regulation of Utilities). The planned investment in the electricity grid and infrastructure is urgently required but we would call on the exchequer to also play its role in ensuring much needed price stability and minimising the financial burden on consumers.”
As ever, we would urge our customers that need additional assistance to contact us as a first step, and we will work to support them as required. Pinergy customers are empowered with smart technologies & apps that allows them to see their energy consumption every day and identify potential areas of energy waste can be addressed.
