Click Energy and Share Energy will increase electricity tariffs in Northern Ireland from 1 April 2026. Click Energy's adjustment amounts to 9.5%. Share Energy's rise totals 26.4%.

The changes affect 33,000 Click Energy customers and 22,500 Share Energy customers. A typical Click Energy household on credit or prepayment faces an extra £108 per year. Share Energy households see costs increase by about £213 annually.

Raymond Gormley, Head of Energy at the Consumer Council, stated that volatility in wholesale energy costs, linked to Middle East geopolitics, drives the increases. He advised customers struggling with bills to contact their supplier for support.

Gormley recommended reviewing payment methods to cut expenses. He noted that standard tariffs with post-bill payments cost the most. Options include switching payment types, billing approaches or suppliers.
