Treasury Minister asked about upcoming electricity price rises
Manx Utilities must ensure its business is sustainable without its customers facing a serious detriment.
That's according to the treasury minister who was asked about the board's pricing principals in the House of Keys this morning.
The organisation recently announced a 30 per cent price rise - it will be phased in from the end of this week.
David Ashford says it's important for Manx Utilities to balance the impact of the increase:
