Wholesale electricity prices in Ireland rose by 42.2% in the 12 months leading up to June 2026, according to data released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). This increase contrasts with a 6.2% monthly decline from May to June and a 65% drop compared to the peak in August 2022. Energy fuel prices also saw a 9% decrease in June compared to May, primarily due to declines in fuel oil and gas oil.
