Switching electric/gas providers (see first post for links)

I've done my numbers today. Flogas are offering €50 credit on gas and €220 on electricity. Slightly higher standing charge but slightly lower electricity rates. Looks like I'll be jumping to them.

been watching this for weeks:

Worked out some calculations in excel and used energypal also.

Every scenario i entered, which doesn't exceed the monthly caps, Energia worked out the cheapest for electricity.

Electric Ireland & SSE were the next best.

Read the terms and conditions of your contract. I left SSE in 2022 after 6 months they billed me the €50 contract break fee but didn't recoup the welcome credit.

I noticed this recently but assumed it was always the case and just a shortcoming whereby only a single rate can be entered for your current supplier... If it was an option before, then I'd say they'll probably fix it once reported.

I was with Energia and renewed with Energia last week, thought I'd share how it went. I'm on 24hr Urban, smart meter but not activated.

Spoke with Energia customer service and was offered 25.09 c/kWh with standing charge of €236.62.
4500 units per year comes out at €1365.67

Electric Ireland were offering 25.02 c/kWh + €100 cashback with standing charge €250.77
4500 units per year comes out at €1,276.67 inc. cashback

I decided to initiate the switch to EI from Energia. The next day I received a call from Energia offering the following: 23.61c/kWh with standing charge of €236.62 + €30 euro credit.

4500 units per year comes out at €1269.07 inc. cashback

In addition to this, EI have already announced their new rate beginning 1st November which was included in the calculations above. Energia have yet to announce their next price cut so it's possible the rate I agreed on could drop a little more, here's hoping.

I had that problem on my first bill but I was told it would take a few days to resolve, which is what happened.. I presume its the same issue.

my contract expires in a few days should i wait til then to switch or if should i start the switch before then?

one week out from end of BGE contract and still only offering 20% discount

Did you ring them?I just got 25%/25% and €100 bonus on the phone.

Same here (11th) - is it likely that there will be significant savings if you were to wait the additional 2 weeks to black Friday?

My first 125 credit is in my energia account but I just recently switched. Can I get this money off them?

All the details are here:

I was on Black Friday 25% deal from last year with BG for gas only. They are offering same plus €50 bonus and 25% off a gas boiler service (they dont service my make of boiler so thats of no benefit at all). My contract expires later this month. I will wait and see what they do for this black Friday.

I really wish all energy providers would. just be more open with their pricing and not have multi levels of discounts on offer to people at the same time. Energy is second only to health insurance for complicating or obfuscating matters for customers.

upload your file from esb networks to energypal and see what that comes back with

28 isn't much of a difference over the year
