PV Feed In Tariff

You can substitute to use more electricity. Air fryer instead of gas cooker. Some electric heating instead of gas. I don't mean use more electricity for the sake of it

😄 I know how you feel, I kept logging in a few days before I got the bill to see if it was there. 330 in credit now with another 200 credit to go on in March. Almost feels wrong when you know so many are struggling.

Got my second Energia bill. No FiT this time even though I got it on the last bill. Something is up alright with ESBn and sending FiT data to the providers.

I've got both Govt credits so far and my fixed rate (27.4/7.9) is still holding, thankfully!

Same. If I'm chatting to anyone and they mention the costs I would generally nod in agreement. I'm not unaware of them but thankfully somewhat shielded and I don't think it would be good to show off with that.

Sorry if this has been answered already but I could not find it in the last several pages.

I was with Electric Ireland EI. last year and when I queried last year, I was promised all FIT or CER payments would be made before year end.

I was trying to find out how many KWH I exported but no one could answer me in EI.

Fast forward to Jan 2023 and now I am being told they hope to have it paid before February but still cant tell me how many KWH I exported. I am not 100% sure if the smart meter is reporting the exported value back and EI cant answer that either. I am not on a smart plan

No if you have a smart meter regardless of plan you get metered export.

NO I have a solis and it only tracks generation but not usage / export.

Yes I know how much I exported from the meter per the 7th register. But I want to get it confirmed that I will be paid for metered export rather than deemed export.

"If you go to https://www.esbnetworks.ie/ you can sign up (for free) using your MPRN"

I am reluctant to sign up for free using the mprn as it might change the status to a smart type of plan and prevent me from signing up for regular plans going forward.

"AFAIK if your not on a smart plan you get deemed export based on the inverter size.."

I would be more inclined to say if it was deemed export it would be on the size registered on the NC6 form and not the inverter size.

I've a 2.4kw array but a 3kw inverter. So i can plug 3kw into the deemed export formula to estimate what they may use for Feb to Nov

Can you confirm you have a smart meter but a standard 24hr electricity tarrif?

That's not correct. I have a smart meter and I'm not on a smart plan and I have access to my data through this website. It's nothing to do with smart plans, which are currently terrible. I think this came from an GDPR legal case as ESB Networks were not giving access to data that they were retaining about customers.

I got my renewal email from EI today - funneh how the email doesnt mention anything about FIT. :(

BTW I have still not been paid a dime for FIT from them yet - although it is promised in my next bill. I will be shocked if i do get paid before i leave (if i find a better deal!)

Energy Day Unit Rate: 40.29 c/kWh

Energy Night Unit Rate: 20.00 c/kWh

Annual Standing Charge: 364.12 €/annum

I didn't (phone them that is) as I was under the impression that it's not really Energia who's at fault here, but apparently the raw data that they are getting from ESB networks. Not really sure how/what would be the issue considering I'm on deemed export, but I'm sure they'll sort it out in time.

Once ESB Networks sort out whatever issues they have, I'm expecting Energia to fall in line. TBF to energia, they are one of the better suppliers out there for FIT. They were one of the first to start regularly paying, they have been up front on many of the things, so I'm "optimistic" as opposed to SSE who have dropped the ball there (multiple times)
