Bright Energy

nephster

Hi all,
You may have seen the new entrant in the energy market, Bright Energy.
For me, they worked out as the best deal to move to after my year with Energia was up - their unit rate is pretty good, but their standing charge is very good indeed. So, as a low user of units, they worked out best for me when I crunched the figures on switcher.ie, even compared to others with cashback. YMMV.

They don't have better deals for new customers, it's all one rate, and you can move away without penalty - it's not a 12 month contract, unlike most.

If you feel like this might suit, feel free to use my code:

...this doesn't give you any benefit, I'm afraid, but I get a bonus and then you can add your own affiliate link to the thread once signed-up.

hello , yes with Bright energy the standing charge is as low as 75 without vat , and currently i am on a rate of 25 a month , as a single household. this is good. you enter your own electricity readings online or directly to an app, so ideal for ye kids ! otherwise if the tech is too much you can ring up and tell someone the meter reading .
As nephster says, you can leave anytime no penalties no long term contract. Nice ONE.
I had already joined back in July, but typically just got around to meter reading today.
anyway, if i get anything , ill send ye a fiver to say thanks .

As the public service levy is going up by 50 euro for everybody, you get 100% renewable energy with a standing charge that is at least half what all the others are charging, and a rate that is on par with the best deals the others offer, but how I'm getting charged is a fixed amount of 25 a month so far, but taking the pso hike into account will be a, bit more after I'd say.
So the saving is for you and environment. That's why i said I'd give you a 5er, as they only seem to offer credit to the referrer currently.

5th November.. Notice that all prices are going up..

We’ve been keeping a close eye on the energy markets and unfortunately, we need to increase our
bright future variable tariff. The cost of supplying electricity has increased sharply since July due to an
increase in wholesale electricity prices and increased network costs which cover how energy is moved
around the country.

We don’t like price increases either, so we’re giving all our customers 30 days to think things over.
These new prices will take effect from the 05 Dec 2020 and full detail on these changes are detailed in
the table below. All Unit Rate values are cent per kWh, all Standing Charge values are cent per day.

Unit Rate Unit Rate Standing Charge Standing Charge
(Excl VAT) (Incl VAT) (Excl VAT) (Incl VAT)
Current Tariff until 13.040 C 14.80 C 20.35 C 23.10 C
05 Dec 2020
New Tariff from 14.225 C 16.145 C 26.26 C 29.81 C
05 Dec 2020



* Your variable tariff prices may change in the future. We will always notify you 30 days in advance.
What will happen next?Remember – you have the right to cancel your contract with us at any stage, there are no tie ins and
no exit fees.If you choose to remain with us your new tariff will take effect from 05 Dec 2020


Increase in meter charges by 24.50 Per Year..

Whoa.. and in the UK Energy prices are going down for Green Energy...

Is it still €25 for a referral?
And is there a minimum time the new customer has to be with Bright to qualify (all suppliers are increasing prices)

Hi,

Carried out a bit of small research on this,

Am I right in saying that Bright Energy don't have the cheapest rate per unit of electricity but they have the cheapest standing charge that more than makes up for the rate of electricity?

I am currently with Electric Ireland, I have crunched the numbers, and I think I will save approx €42 every bill with Bright, nearly €240 per year

Use a comparison site like powertoswitch.ie, switcher.ie, bonkers.ie

Bright don't have a minimum contract period, hence you can switch from Bright, without penalty, whenever a better deal arises

another price increase,this time a big jump up in standing charge, so this time i think i will be leaving. standing charge going up frpm 29.81 per day to 50.81 per day. damn i need to get a bike generator and solar power sorted out

Wishox

jumping ship here too !

Just did now only with them a month got a monthly bill for 75e usually about €50.....

zell12

Bright now have have e50 cashback
The Switching Bonus is a credit against your electricity account, a credit of €25 applied to account and a
further credit of €25 applied in six months time

gussieg

they would have been better off not trying to fleece us with the standing charge. i think.

So where is everyone moving to? Bonkers.ie is giving me Energia as the cheapest, but as they are a 1 year contract I wouldn't want to jump to them and find the price goes up a week later!

Also a bit concerned about getting my €150 deposit back for paying Direct Debit with Bright Energy. Will I have to contact them for it, or will they return it when the account is closed?

Energia increased prices in April +8.6%
Check all three comparison sites and tick
Yes to show cashback
No to deals you can switch to now
