Sir, – Bord Gáis Energy says that any “downward fluctuation” in wholesale energy prices will not be reflected in customer prices for some time as it buys electricity and gas 18 to 24 months in advance of selling it to households (“Electricity suppliers tight-lipped on bills despite falling prices”, Business, April 6th). In that case, we should not have seen any impact on our bills from the “upward fluctuation” in wholesale prices occasioned by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for another six to 12 months. – Yours, etc,
PAT O’BRIEN,
Dublin 6.
