      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.

      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.

      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.

      The boring answer:
      Poorly connected grid, subsidised renewables and reliance on imported gas.

      Like in 2020 when oil prices internationally were net negative in price, we increased our petrol, dowse and kerosene prices at the filling stations.

      I bet that they all met and set prices together. And they are passing discounts around over time so that they distribute the profits…

      It’s the only option if prices are artificially inflated, otherwise you’d have a player that steals all customers and everyone follow suit.
