Northern Ireland Affairs Committee: Energy costs in Northern Ireland
Committee hears from witnesses
The Northern Ireland Affairs Committee is taking oral evidence on energy costs in Northern Ireland. This inquiry examines why households and businesses in Northern Ireland face particular challenges with energy affordability and seeks to understand the factors driving costs in the region.
Energy costs disproportionately affect Northern Ireland consumers compared to GB, with implications for household budgets, business competitiveness, and economic growth. This committee inquiry will inform potential policy responses to address energy affordability specifically in Northern Ireland.
