Here are the suppliers that offer electricity in Ireland:
Most of these providers are traditional electricity suppliers, but Pinergy and PrePayPower specialise in prepaid electricity services. Electric Ireland also offers some prepaid tariffs.
If you haven’t switched electricity in a while, it’s likely you’re on a standard electricity rate and your electricity prices are higher than they need to be.
Switching could save you up to €324. This is because the average standard tariff comes in at €1,509, while the cheapest plan on the market is just €1,184 per year for the average electricity customer.
Here are the suppliers that offer gas in Ireland:
If you haven’t switched your gas supplier in over a year, you’ll be on a standard gas rate by now. The average standard gas tariff comes in at €1,339, while the cheapest plan on the market is just €949, meaning taking some time to switch could save an average gas user €390.
These energy suppliers offer dual fuel plans:
The average gas and electricity customer can save up to €771 by switching from standard tariffs to the cheapest deals out there.
Depending on your usage, you may make bigger savings by switching to individual gas and electricity plans, rather than a dual fuel deal, but some consumers like the idea of just dealing with one supplier on billing and any queries.
The best way to choose a new energy supplier and deal is to carry out an energy price comparison.
To compare energy deals, all you need is a copy of your recent energy bills and to answer a few quick questions about your current supplier and what you want to get from your new supplier.
You’ll get the most accurate results if you enter your actual energy consumption (which you can find on your bills) but if you don’t have this, don’t worry - you can use the national averages to get an idea of the cheapest energy prices out there.
You may be worried about switching to a new supplier in case you lose service for a period of time, but there’s no need for concern. All suppliers use the same pipes and cables to supply energy to your home, so there won’t be any interruption in supply.
Once you choose a deal, you just need to enter a few details, including your current meter readings and then your new supplier will take it from there.
It only takes a few minutes to find a cheaper deal and start saving
