"Customers on our loyalty rates will save even more and while we cannot comment on speculation about potential future price changes, we continue to keep our rates as competitive as possible and strive to protect customers from the worst increases in the wholesale energy markets," a spokesperson for the company added. "For this reason, the recent downward fluctuation in wholesale energy prices is not reflected in current customer prices and won’t be for some time," they said in a statement. SSE Airtricity, who supply more than 700,000 Irish homes, said that energy prices are the primary concern of their customers, and as a result of market volatility, the company was the first Irish energy provider to forego profits this financial year. "Electric Ireland will continue to keep its prices under constant review, and is committed to providing customers with the best value possible across a broad range of products. For this reason it is very difficult to project the trajectory of residential electricity and gas prices, a spokesperson for the company told the Irish Mirror. They stressed that forward hedge contracts, up to a period of 24 months, are entered into at different times, causing a delay in a reflection of the wholesale markets and retail prices for the customer.
