'We'll match rebate if Manx Gas does' says Harmer
Manx Gas customers will now be temporarily protected from any prices rises.
Tynwald has agreed to freeze tariffs while energy regulator CURA, or the Communications and Utilities Regulatory Authority, looks to develop a new pricing system.
The new structure will be imposed on Manx Gas after attempts to reach a voluntary replacement to the 2015 deal were scrapped earlier this year.
Questions remain over whether a promised rebate on 2020 bills will be paid.
Policy and Reform Minister Ray Harmer says government will honour it's side of the bargain if Manx Gas does:
Warning over flare disposal after amenity site fire
Drug-driver jailed after passenger injured in crash
Suspended sentence for 56-year-old in cannabis supply case
Owner of a block of flats fined for failing to meet fire safety regulations
