Over 286,000 households are in arrears on electricity payments, compared to around 200,00 last year.

The Irish Independent's Personal Finance Editor Charlie Weston says this represents 1 in every 8 homes.

He believes it's a result of rising prices across the sector with many gas customers also in arrears.
