Small Businesses To Benefit From Cheaper Electricity

Small businesses in NI are to benefit from cheaper electricity from 01 April as Power NI announced cuts of 9.2%.

The company, which supplies electricity to more than 37,000 small businesses across Northern Ireland, has said the move will save businesses around £200 a year.

The company is introducing the price reductions due to a decrease in wholesale gas prices.

The move follows a similar cut by smaller NI electricity supply Budget Energy.
