    I renewed my boss's contract with flogos this morning, told them I wanted to remain on a non smart plan, and the rates I was quoted and signed up to were 24.03c day and 13.35c night, the girl I was talking to seemed a bit confused herself when I pointed out the the rates on the website, she did also mention a day rate of 26.49c, but when we actually went through with the order she quoted the 24.03c rate. The same girl did also say during the conversation that a day and night plan was only available to smart plans, however, she proceeded to put through a non smart plan and quoted day and night rates, so I have no idea. I have gotten the email confirmation from them earlier and I've replied asking for the rates in writing. This the the name of the plan

    BWG Single Elec 18 Month Fixed Energy

    Renewed by phone, d/n meter, not activated. Rates given were 26.49c day and 13.35c night. 18 months plan though the confirmation email says it expires in April 2026!

    Another BWG expired customer. Rang Flogas today, I renewed on the 18mth Fixed Duel Fuel option as I like the sound of locking in these rates and if for some reason rates do drop significantly in the future, it is only €50 breakage fee:

    Electricity - 24.03c with SC €257

    Gas - 7.9c with SC €152

    Above prices inc vat

    I remain on my 24hr Standard plan (I have a non activated Smart Meter).

    Got the the couple of free emerald part tickets aswell which is a nice bonus. All done in about 3mins.

    That's not 18 months.. …my dates were off by 1 year. 2024→2025 it said everywhere. The months were correct. I got it corrected to 2025→2026.

    Very similar to the BWG Smart Dual Fuel 24Hr 18 Month Fixed Energy deal. Hmm maybe i'll give them a call and see if I can stay on standard plan.

    Have an unactivated smart meter and don't want it activated so this is the dual fuel correct plan for that i think?

    Coming off the old BWG plan, prefer to do online than talk, assume no difference between call centre and online?

    from what I can see by signing up on the 18 month day night plan my rates actually go up as currently paying 25.48 cent day rate and 12.35 cent night rate with annual fee of 303.97. I will be going to:

    Day Unit Rate (Fixed)Cent per kWh

    26.49

    Night Unit Rate (Fixed)Cent per kWh

    13.35

    Standing Charge (Fixed)Annual

    €331.33

    Am I missing something here?

    You're getting certainty in a very uncertain world.

    Worst case and the electricity price collapses pay €50 to leave.

    pretty sure he was implying he got the tickets by signing up to the deal... Not physically. Anyway we'll all be in emerald park at some stage this year. ;)

    For the BWG Gas plan … Carbon Tax is hardly 121 cent per kWh?? Should it say 1.2146 cent? I think I am currently paying around 1.10 cent per kWh.

    If you sign up to this online do you get the Emerald Park tickets or is it only by phone?

    It's quoted as a benefit online too so assume it's both call centre and online.

    Now which 2 in the house are going to miss out on Emerald Park given there's only 2 freebies...if anyone's not using their tickets :)

    Just renewed to the.non smart dual fuel plan. Assume I'll get an email in a couple of days confirming like it says I will.

    Hi, apologies if already asked, but can you get this offer without being an employee of BWG?

    Thanks.

    Did you not get the memo, it's being changed to a free staff day out in emerald park for us all! 🤣😂

    @davemckenna25 If you've ever carried your shopping to the till in Spar/Mace/Londis/XL/Eurospar, you're 'working' for BWG. Welcome to the team. 👍

    The below is a general 'signature' and not part of any post:

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.

    Public transport user? If you're sick of phantom ghost services on the 'official' RTI sources, check bustimes.org for actual 'real' RTI, if it's on their map it actually exists.

    I think a fixed rate is worth considering.Can't see rates going down any decade soon.

    0.42c between them

    It was said to me by phone with Flogas about the amount of BWG Flogas customers compared to how many actually work for BWG and she specifically called out this website as the root of evil.

    Prior to that I was asked if I was a BWG Employee. No proof was sought. We're not the problem. If you can sell at those rates then you shouldn't be surprised if people want the best available rates.

    Folks I hate to clog up the thread with possibly a stupid question......is it possible to sign up to the day/night rate NON SMART on a NON activated smart meter?

    Or is that only available to people that still have the old day night meters at there house?

    If you have the correct time of Smart Meter, yes. If you are currently on a 24 hour plan on an unactivated smart meter, then I don't believe its possible.

    Think they fixed the 24hr electricity only rate, but also updated the day/night rate for non smart to be 25.94c/kWh day. Night is still 12.79
