Electric Ireland has extended its disconnection moratorium until the end of June, meaning that residential customers who can't pay their bills won't have their service cut.
The company introduced the moratorium last October.
Electric Ireland is asking customers who are struggling financially to make contact with them, to discuss a payment plan.
Marguerite Sayers, Executive Director said they have a "rigorous" engagement process in place for customers who are experiencing financial difficulties.
"We are acutely aware of the challenges that some customers will experience now with the continuation of Level 5 restrictions.
"We want to ensure those customers will be protected and have peace of mind as we all deal with the challenges of on-going restrictions," she said.
Ms Sayers said the company hopes this extended moratorium will give customers a chance to get back on their feet as Covid-19 restrictions begin to ease.
