Island Energy has announced a 5% increase in gas tariffs for customers in Jersey, effective December 1. This change will affect both domestic and commercial users, with rates rising by 1p per kilowatt hour due to higher wholesale gas costs linked to ongoing disruptions in the Middle East.
The company's chief executive acknowledged the unwelcome nature of the price hike, especially during winter, while noting that prior procurement strategies had mitigated some cost impacts. Customers are encouraged to reach out for support regarding their bills.
