Airtricity Real Value, EI Climote, & Other Heating Deals?

    So I'm looking to replace my ****ty old storage heaters and noticed there are some new(ish) deals coming from SSE Airtricity (Real Value) and Electric Irleand (Climote).

    Both deals are subsidised, and seem to be some offshoot from the EU about improving energy efficiency.

    However, Airtricity's Real Value requires a Storage Heater Rate (I'm on Day/Night), and EI's Climote seems to be not for Electric?!?

    Does anyone know of any deals for suckers like me on all-electric heating and Day/Night rates?

    Thanks in advance

    Day night rate is what is used for storage heaters there's no separate rate to my knowledge , however the airtricity project has finished recruiting participants, it's an EU funded project under horizon 20/20. I'm not aware of anything else at the moment.

    Climate seems to be something like hive or other automated solutions, not suitable for storage heaters as they charge overnight. The climote is useful for on demand systems , this is a completely different proposition to the airtricity realvalue which was from what I could see a subsidised installation and pilot.

    Thanks for the replies!
    Yes, it seems those of us with Storage heaters and a day/night (with no oil or other heating) basically have no real deals or benefits. Shame, as I imagine there are many in the same boat.
