Consumers to benefit from eco-reduction even after tariff cuts

Consumers will continue benefitting from the eco-reduction even after the reductions in utility bills come into effect.

In a statement issued in reaction to the Opposition leader's speech in parliament, the Ministry for the Energy confirmed that eco-reductions would remain in place.

The Ministry also said that consumers who today avail themselves of energy benefit vouchers would continue enjoying these reductions.

The Ministry said it was only thanks to a Labour government that consumers would enjoy tariff cuts.

"The government fails to understand why the Opposition continues to scare families when the government has already promised reductions in utility bills," the ministry said.
