Day night rate
I finally got a response from EI on the status of my FIT payment. I have been contacting them several times since Septemeber... and never got any response until today. I used the email suggested in this thread; homeservices@electricireland.ie
Once an NC6 form has been submitted to ESB Networks for further sign up is required. You will receive the first export credits automatically on the last bill in December, from December onwards this will appear on every bill.
The export rate is 14cents per kilowatt, the first payment will be backdated as far back to the 15th of February 2022, or the date your NC6 form was submitted to ESB Networks, if that was later.
While i am happy to get this response - am i confident that I will get a payment in Dec? No. This looks to me to be a generic copy/paste response (but with spelling errors) and not someone that actually looked up my account. Hope i am wrong.
On the Bord Gáis point above I got a positive outcome to my complaint.
They are changing their policy and are now going to pay out on your last bill when you switch rather than the ridiculous policy of making you wait up to a year to get paid!!
They have said they will pay me for Feb-Sep immediately and are processing the payment in the next few days and they confirmed the figures with me. Result!
I left Energia on the 8th March. I just got my first FIT payment from them. Calculated, 3 weeks. Smart meter, but not configured for 1/2 hourly reporting.
Nothing yet from Electric Ireland (apart from promises). The smart meter was reconfigured so I should be able to use the HDF (from ESBN) to calculate what I will be getting.
Energia will indeed pay FIT from the date the installer sends NC6
I didn't have to do anything.
Detail about exported units just arrived in the bill.
Pity there were 70+ units fed in before the date the NC6 was sent by installer but at least seems this is all ready now, some units from late September credited there.
Got my deemed fit payment in my last bill from energia
5.8kwp with 5k inverter, 60 euro fit for the 2 month billing period.
Left them in August, I wonder if they will honour a payment Feb-Aug, I somewhat doubt that.
Why do you doubt that? You sound like you are the same as me so they will pay assuming you are entitled to the money (i.e. NC6 filled in prior to Feb).
Quick question on Feed in Tariffs guys:
Does any supplier actually pay you money to your bank account as opposed to just crediting your account?
We're putting in a very large (up to 50kw) PV array on a new build at the moment which will, on top of being pretty much self sufficient for electricity, generate a surplus every year.
So a system of credits to my account would be no good, I'd gradually just build up more and more credit I can never use.
Any idea if any supplier will actually pay for electricity generated. I've tried emailing them but can't get any clear answers.
Thanks!
If you leave then they pay you wants on account but you are an outlier so they probably haven't created a policy for such a scenario yet
As slave1 said fit is just rolling out.
Energia have paid out to customers via bank transfer to customers that had already left them.
I do suppose they are obligated to actually "pay out" if you get into too much credit as it is your money after all.
50kwp solar ?
Thats prob closer to a commercial solar farm as opposed to a residential fit!
It's the same as any other credit to your account. If your balance is in credit it's your money and you can take it whenever.
It's a huge outlier today but there are already a number of us on this forum with multiple inverters so in a few years this will not be an unusual setup, especially if out the country with sheds and great aspect.
I'd have a 27kWp if I had the space and aspect
Just a heads up in case you are looking to change providers.
SSE have revised their rate for FIT to 24c. See below from their website. Haven't heard this advertised.. I'm currently with Bord Gais, but coming to the end of my 12 month contract so looking for alternatives. Seems that this is the best rate available for FIT.
Eligible customers with Microgen will receive a clean export tariff of 24cent per kWh payable twice yearly.
Great news. What's the deal with switching for ceg/FIT? Do you need to notify the new provider if you are on deemed export rather than a smart meter?
Thay are A pain in the hole to deal with. Ask a question but if and when you finally get some sort of a answer it just push the smart meter all the fecken time
Of course, more profits for them charging way more than equivalent Day/Night rates
ESB Networks now have a portal that will show your export
https://myaccount.esbnetworks.ie/
Question on export.. when do you start getting paid for export? Does your installer have to send something to esb networks re solar installation?
From when ESBN receives your NC6 form, or from February 15th 2022 AFAIK.
Your Solar PV installer has to register your system with ESB Networks via an NC6 form.
You then start to get paid from that date but how often you get paid and how much you get paid depends 100% on the provider you signup with.
Thanks, is there a way to check if you are registered? I dropped my installer an email to check. I'm diverting excess to Eddi at the moment.. not that there's a lot.. no point exporting if I'm not registered
email here
Time and amounts are wrong on mine. Everything is doubled and the time is off by 30 mins. Feck all use having such a portal unless it's right. I've emailed ESB on it.
Can't add my MPRN. Will give them a ring tomorrow. Got my panels installed 2+ years ago.
Possibly only for people with smart meters
"MRPN already linked". I guess I'll have to ring them to work out how to access it.
On a smart meter 10 months at this stage. Hopefully I'll get through on the number provided on the website.
Mine shows smart readings and the previous non-smart readings. I had issues signing up initially as on our bill its myself & wifes name. Seems ESB only had mine on it.
