Yuno Energy has announced a price increase for residential electricity and gas customers from 1 July 2026, becoming the second supplier this week to confirm higher household energy bills.
The supplier has confirmed increases across electricity and gas tariffs, with prices increasing by up to 9.5% for electricity and 11% for gas, depending on tariff. For many households already managing rising living costs, the announcement means another increase in monthly energy bills heading into the second half of the year.
Yuno, which has around 100,000 electricity and gas customers, said the increase is a “result of rising wholesale energy costs linked to the war in the Middle East”.
What prices are changing?
Yuno Energy has confirmed that new electricity and gas prices will apply from 1 July 2026. The exact impact depends on the tariff and meter type, however Yuno has confirmed:
- Electricity prices will increase by 9.5%
- Gas prices will increase by 11%
The supplier says the increase is expected to add approximately:
- €168 per year to the average electricity bill
- €167 per year to the average gas bill
For dual fuel customers using both electricity and gas, annual energy costs could rise by more than €335 per year, depending on household usage.
Why are prices going up?
Yuno Energy says the increase reflects rising wholesale energy costs and continued pressure in international energy markets.
The announcement follows similar price increases elsewhere in the Irish market and may signal a broader upward movement in household energy costs.
The supplier also highlighted that it had held prices since launching in 2023 but, due to ongoing wholesale volatility, ‘can no longer delay this increase
Who is Yuno Energy?
Yuno Energy entered the Irish energy market in 2023 and has grown quickly, positioning itself as a digital-led supplier offering electricity, gas and smart tariff plans.
The company is part of the wider PrepayPower group, one of Ireland’s established energy providers. While PrepayPower is best known for prepay energy services, Yuno Energy focuses on bill-pay customers and has positioned itself around app-based account management, online servicing and competitive introductory discounts.
However, as with all suppliers, tariffs and introductory discounts can change over time — making it important for households to regularly review whether they remain on the best available deal.
Finding a better deal
If you are a Yuno Energy customer, now is a good time to review your tariff and check whether you are still on the best available deal. When suppliers increase prices and discounts change, the difference between tariffs can widen quickly – meaning staying with the same supplier may not always offer the best value
