There's been a jump in the number of people behind on their electricity bills.

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.
