Regulation of retail energy markets is solely a matter for the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) since the enactment of the Electricity Regulation Act 1999 and subsequent legislation.

The CRU publishes arrears and disconnections data in a monthly report. My Department receives these reports on the day of publication and then receives the underpinning data shortly thereafter. The dates in 2026 on which my Department received market monitoring data from the CRU is set out in the table attached.

The Deputy may wish to engage directly with the CRU in relation to the matters raised. The CRU provides a dedicated email address, oireachtas@cru.ie, for Oireachtas members which enables them to raise questions on general energy regulatory matters.
