Like many friends, I can feel the rising cost of living in Ireland. I’ve screencapped the daily electricity cost of one person living in my home as a marker.

Electricity usage on 16 September 2026 shows the highest spend peak around 6pm with a total daily cost of €2.69, which is lower than the average €5.41 for Wednesdays.
