Jersey gas bills to rise as Middle East turmoil persists

Gas customers in Jersey will see their bills increase by about 5% from 1 December after Island Energy announced a rise in tariffs for households and businesses.

The company said its mains gas, mini bulk tank and cylinder tariffs would increase by 1p per kilowatt hour (kWh) for all domestic and commercial customers from 1 December 2026.

It said the increase reflected higher wholesale gas and liquefied petroleum gas costs amid disruption to exports and shipping routes in the Middle East after the conflict with Iran.

Chief executive Graeme Millar said: “We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, particularly during winter.”
