Bord Gáis to further lower gas, electricity charges.

Bord Gáis le táillí gáis, leictreachais a ísliú tuilleadh.

Bord Gáis has announced that the company is to lower gas and electricity charges charged to domestic customers from the beginning of March.

Tá sé fógartha ag Bord Gáis go bhfuil an comhlacht le táillí gáis agus leictreachais a ghearrtar ar chustaiméirí baile a ísliú ó thús mhí an Mhárta.

There will be a 9.5% reduction in gas charges and a 10% reduction in electricity charges.

Ísliú 9.5 faoin gcéad a bheas i gceist i gcás táillí gáis agus ísliú 10 faoin gcéad i gcás táillí leictreachais.

In that case, the fixed charge will be reduced by 8%.

Ina cheann sin, ísleofar an buanmhuirear 8 faoin gcéad .

It is estimated that all these reductions will benefit around 600,000 customers and save them an average of €141 a year on gas charges and €190 a year on electricity charges.

Meastar go rachaidh na híslithe seo ar fad chun leasa thart ar 600,000 custaiméir agus go sábhálfaidh siad €141 sa bhliain ar tháillí gáis agus €190 sa bhliain ar tháillí leictreachais ar an meán.

This is the second windfall that Bord Gáis has recently granted to the company's customers.

Seo an dara hamhantar atá lamháilte ag Bord Gáis do chustaiméirí an chomhlachta le gairid.

Both gas and electricity charges were lowered by 15.5% in November.

Íslíodh táilli gáis agus leictreachais araon 15.5 faoin gcéad i mí na Samhna.

According to the company, this means that those to whom they supply both gas and electricity are better off than customers of other companies.

Dar leis an gcomhlacht go bhfágann sin go bhfuil an dream a soláthraíonn siad gás agus leictreachas araon dóibh, go bhfuil an dream sin níos fearr as ná custaiméirí comhlachtaí eile.

O wholesale prices have fallen significantly for a year, energy suppliers in this country are being urged to reduce customer charges accordingly.

O tá praghsanna mórdhíola tite go mór le bliain, táthar ag tathant ar sholáthraithe fuinnimh sa tír seo táillí custaiméirí a laghdú dá réir.
