SSE Airtricity To Freeze Gas Prices
SSE Airtricity has said it is to continue its price freeze for natural gas customers in Northern Ireland until April 2015.
The freeze will affect both domestic and small business customers.
The announcement follows a half-yearly review by SSE Airtricity and the Utility Regulator.
Stephen Wheeler, SSE Airtricity Managing Director, said: "I'm pleased today that we're announcing once again that we're holding our regulated natural gas prices. This represents an effective two year price freeze of our natural gas tariffs up to April next year for our home and business customers.
"Since we acquired Phoenix Supply in June 2012 we've used our scale and expertise on wholesale GB gas markets to introduce much greater price stability into the natural gas market here.
"Today's announcement demonstrates how we're passing on the benefits of that scale and expertise to help smooth the impact of price movements on customers' bills."
