    I spoke to Energia

    You can only view that information if you are on a smart plan

    It shows up in your online account

    Once you switch to a smart tariff though,they said you are on it for good,even if you change supplier

    You will be put on one of your new suppliers smart tariffs or choose

    The limit of day unts per month with them is 1500 kW and for night 1000

    So in theory you can use 2500kw pm

    The penalty seems to be 2c per kilowatt hour


    They confirmed my smart meter would be sending the readings automatically every night,so on a smart plan you can see your usage in 30 min intervals


    They have different rates for peak,off peak and night on smart rates

    That's for the farm(well is under the house bill). It seems a bit saucy?

    Your day rate is very high

    Paying 17 cent day rate and 7 cent night rate with electric Ireland but they have a 10% increase since, your discount puts you back to not far off the above rates, only changed last month and that was the best on offer

    Take your day usage, previous is 1553 and present is 1656, that's 103 kwh but your being charged for 3000 odd.


    Ahh you have a multiplier on it.

    That's the new rate I would guess, but poster is getting 40% off which softens the impact

    I only changed provider there lately, but I think I read that it only costs 50euro to break contract if you want to leave before the 12 months is up… I had thought it was more.

    You’d have to do the sums, but with all these supposed increases coming might be worth keeping in mind…

    Foggy night last night so no wind turbines working. Our local town had no street lights on last night. Would they be off when the grid is under pressure? Maybe it was just a fault, anyone else in the dark last night?

    I heard of a mill fitting a 1500 kva generator because they get phone calls from the esb to cut the power when the grid is under pressure. 1500kva is 2000hp, there would be a fair bit of diesel needed to run that for an hour.


    Looks like 5-6pm is when demand peaks when ppl come home from work.

    I know a lot of Christmas lights are LED but they all add up.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
