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

Looks like Electric Ireland have reduced (and removed in some cases) their cashback offers.

Ah here, we aren't living in North Korea yet😊 they'd require slightly more info than your mprn😏

On the other side of it the Electric Ireland CEO said a few days ago that EI are not putting up their prices like Airtricity are doing. At least not immediately so there seems to be some divergence in policy. Its positive news in so far as it will make the others like Energia think twice about following Airtricitys 10% price increase due to come into effect next week.

Have Electric Ireland reduced their discount as well 26% now , wasn't it 28% last week???- That's on a D/N meter, electricity only.

Yeah was thinking that and the welcome bonus gone as well!

Just looking at Energias rates page here

Does anyone know the difference between a day/night meter and a night storage meter?

What exactly is a night storage meter? I ask because the standing charge for these is a fair bit lower, €240 annually for urban vs €296 for the day/night meter in a urban area. The electricity rates are also marginally lower.

Ive never heard of a night storage meter before, anyone got an idea of what this is?

Apologies didn't spot the different discount rates. I went in through the same axa link and only being offered 38%

Yes it has, for D/N it's 27.3c over 3000 kWh Day and 13.3c over 2000 kWh Night every 2 months

I wouldn’t bother taking the risk, the difference of the rates for one day won’t even buy a bag if taytos

Rang Flogas today (was told 3 weeks ago I would get a link to my email and if not ring back a week or two before renewal) got customer care and was told I should already link was sent out to all customers emails.. Then asked could I be put through to sales as they would know better what to do if no link was received. Before I transfered I asked what new rates were but was told they are not allowed to provide that information.. even tho I am a current t customer and on the plan currently.. got through to sales and I dident even get to finish the sentence My renewal is up on March 31st and I am on the bwg..... she cuts in yeah we're not doing any of that you have to go through bwg rep.. I played dump and stated wife works for value center asked about this link and knowone new what she was talking about etc... lady from flogas just said nothing we can do you need link and I can't give it to you and I can leave on 1st April.... shocking customer service and general manners....

My wife works for bwg and as yet nobody at the company have heard about a deal being put in place between the two companies, the amount of employees that signed up was a bit of a flop last year and only for the links getting leaked online it would have been a disaster nunbers wise

Not sure what flogas have done wrong here tbh they can’t issue a bwg staff discount link to you, keep the head down and see if a link is released if not move on simple 👍🏻

..

she’s in head office and nobody has heard anything about a deal this year, we’ve been away for two weeks so I should know more tomorrow

I wouldn't blame her. You're not entitled to the deal. They've obviously decided that sign up is by email only. And you're wasting her time lying to her about a plan she can't sign you up to. I'd say CS have a royal pain in their collective hole with people ringing about this.

I can't seem to sign up to the day/night plan with energia, that option disappears when I put in my mprn.

There was a smart meter put into the house in the last year but I didn't sign up to a smart plan, my meter is still mcc02.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong
