Costs to increase by 27.5% following Tynwald vote
Manx Gas' parent company says there was no alternative to proposing significant gas price rises on the Isle of Man.
Yesterday (19 October) Tynwald approved a motion which will see prices increase by 27.5%.
Islands Energy Group says it would 'absolutely' commit to bringing rates down again if the market stabilises.
It's CEO, Jo Cox, was asked what other options were considered instead:

Government issues clarification on proposed changes to public housing policy
DHSC 'considering policy options' as Hyperbaric Chamber calls for more funding
'Really special', says charity as historic furniture returns to Island
