Hiya Katy,
Just to add to that very comprehensive reply from Peter, which provides some good tips and advice.
It is possible you have inherited your contract for Electricity from the previous occupier of your property and are on a very low contracted Power tarrif leading to exceeding your total allowable electricity load usage when you switch on a number of Electrical Appliances. This can be modified / increased by your Electricity supplier if you so wished.
Do you pay a set amount each month at €13 euros or do you pay other amounts throughout the year.
If you are on the set amount per month scheme then the larger bill could be The Electricity company recovering underpayments for the last year , as the scheme allows them to do.
