Relief for consumers as gas price hike scrapped

CONSUMERS will not face higher gas bills in January and Bord Gais may even cut charges next year, the Irish Independent can reveal.

Bord Gais has secured sufficient supplies to take it through the winter months, well-placed sources said yesterday.

It is even possible, assuming wholesale gas prices continue to fall on international markets, that the company will be able to offer customers a decrease in prices next year, the source added.
