  "account": "PrepayPower, Ireland's largest pay-as-you-go electricity and gas supplier, has announced it will freeze energy prices for its estimated 200,000 customers this winter. This means customers will not see any price increases until at least March 2027. The company joins other main energy providers in guaranteeing stable pricing despite rising wholesale energy costs and concerns over European gas supplies. In response to the CRU's enhanced protection measures, PrepayPower will also adjust repayment terms for customers in arrears and provide dedicated support to vulnerable customers.",
