The claim was made on March 10, 2026, making the data very recent. Official electricity market data is often published with a lag, though day-ahead prices are typically available in real-time.
No official Irish electricity market source (SEMOpx, EirGrid, or SONI) was accessed to verify the specific figures.
Statista data referenced in search results shows monthly data up to April 2026 but the specific content could not be accessed to verify the exact weekly prices claimed.
