Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Energy Prices: Discussion
Mr. Pat Fenlon:
That is the medically vulnerable. I will let my colleague comment on that. I am not sure if we have the specific number here. I will give the overall context.
Pre-Covid about 150,000 of our 1.1 million customers were in debt. By "in debt" I mean they had not paid their bills on time. During Covid that went down to well below 100,000, aided by the €200 Government credit but over the past month or two, we have seen that go back up to 125,000. We are starting to see a trend of an increase in customer contacts.
