Enough Profiteering! Bring Renewable Energy Into Public Ownership Now!
We are now in the midst of the worst inflationary cost-of-living crisis in decades — a crisis being primarily driven by dramatic increases in the prices of natural gas, oil, petrol, diesel, coal and electricity.
But despite this, shareholders in Big Energy firm ‘Energia’ are profiting from the exploitation of our natural resources - while the rest of us suffer the impact of the cost of living crisis and the climate emergency.
Once again, Energia are hiking their prices for customers by 12.1%, with the company citing rising costs and the fragility of gas and electricity supply as being responsible – but yet they’re able to pay over €40 million to their shareholders?
Instead of using this money to ease the burden on households already struggling to keep up with the ever increasing price of energy, or reinvesting these profits into green technologies, this money is being funnelled into the bank accounts of Energia’s shareholders.
Why should we allow the rich to get richer while the rest of us suffer?
The only way to end this energy rip-off is to place Ireland’s renewable energy resources and infrastructure into public ownership. Read about more our Power To The People campaign.
