SSE Airtricity will reduce its regulated natural gas prices by 8%*, saving a typical household up to £80 a year.**
The price reduction comes into effect from 1 April 2026 for all regulated domestic and small business^ customers and equates to a saving of £6.65 a month based on average consumption.
SSE Airtricity is a price-controlled, regulated supplier of natural gas to over 200,000^^ home and small business customers in Northern Ireland. A key driver of this price change is the adjustment between forecasted and actual costs of delivering gas to customers in Northern Ireland.
Today’s announcement follows a regulated tariff review by the Utility Regulator Northern Ireland. The company also consulted with the Department for the Economy (DfE) and the Consumer Council of Northern Ireland (CCNI) as part of the review.
Stephen Gallagher, Managing Director SSE Airtricity said:
“I’m pleased to share this news with our customers today. We recognise that energy costs remain a concern for customers across Northern Ireland, so we hope this price reduction will provide some welcome relief for many gas customers.”
SSE Airtricity encourages anyone who may be experiencing difficulty with their energy bills to contact the company, who will work with them to find a solution.
