Cap electricity prices
%20(2).png)
We urge the Government to introduce a windfall tax on big energy companies profiting off the illegal war in Iran, to help cap electricity prices and protect people from the rising cost of living.
Why is this important?
We are calling on the Government to make big energy companies pay their fair share and commit to a windfall tax on record profits.
Irish homes already pay the most for electricity in Europe. In the same news headlines that tell us families are cutting back on food and heating, we’re hearing about the record-breaking profits gas, oil, and energy suppliers are making since the illegal war in Iran started.
A windfall tax can be used to cap electricity prices and protect households from rising energy costs during the ongoing cost of living crisis. Government Ministers have said they're open to the idea in the media - now we need them to commit and get this solution over the line.
Families, workers, pensioners, and vulnerable people are being forced to choose between heating their homes and covering basic necessities. Energy is an essential service, not a luxury, and urgent action is needed to ensure electricity remains affordable for everyone.
