    Hi could you confirm something for me, If you go and switch to a smart tariff is it possible to go back to a standard tariff if the smart tariff dose not work out.

    Thank you

    Its a pity when Ireland is heading for the biggest change in its electric infrastructure pricing ya just cant get a straight answer.

    I looks like the rumor is true then, if you change to a smart tariff you cant go back to a standard tariff.

    I think I will hold off till its made clear.

    PS. maybe the Smart Meter Team should get a free Boards account, it might be the SMART thing to do.

    You cannot go back to the standard tariff.The ESB give a vague idea of what the smart tariff entails.Their blurb about the benefits to consumers is more like "isn't this lovely,you should go for as smart meter".The whole project is not for the benefit of the customer.

    I 100% agree with you. This is going to be as bad/confusing as the pricing on health insurance. Warning to anyone, if you going to a smart make sure you can go back to a standard rate if it doesn't work out before you move.
