Electricity prices are going down

A 5.1% decrease will come into effect in April

Electricity prices are falling 5.1 percent from April.

Manx Utilities says it had been planning to apply a proposed inflationary increase of 5.7 percent, but that's been reviewed and amended to reflect the reduction in wholesale natural gas prices.

It's thought bills will reduce by around £50 a year.

However, electricity standing charges, water and waste water charges will still increase by that 5.7 percent.
