SSE Airtricity will give all its domestic customers in the Republic a €35 household credit against their bills, confirming that it will “forgo” €8.6 million of its profits for its 2023 financial year.
What Is The New Change?
On 27th April 2023, SSE Airtricity announced that it will credit all domestic customer accounts in the Republic of Ireland with a household credit. This is following the announcement where SSE Airtricity said that it would give up profits in favor of supporting its customers through the cost-of-living crisis.
The company is following through on its commitment to forgo profits.
What It Means For Bill-Pay & Pre-Pay-Meter (PPM) Customers
Bill-Pay Customers: All domestic household customers of SSE Airtricity in ROI are eligible for the credit and the funds will automatically be credited directly into their accounts. This is in addition to any Government support that customers have already received. The credits will appear on the next bill as ‘SSE Support Credit’.
Pre-Pay-Meter (PPM) Customers: For PPM customers a credit of €35 has been added to their electricity or gas Pay as You Go account. This is in addition to any Government support already received. Note: If a customer has a Pay as You Go meter for both gas and electricity this credit has been applied to the electricity meter. This credit will be collected on the next customer top after 26 April. For this collection to be successful, the top-up must be a minimum of €10. Once €10 top-up is inserted onto the meter after this date the additional SSE Support Credit will be applied to the meter.
SSE Airtricity became the first energy supplier to announce last year that it would give up profits in favor of supporting its customers through the cost-of-living crisis.
