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

The night rate, day rate and peak rate are lower, just no EV rate. My usage worked out better without the EV rate even with an EV.

What are you basing your assertion on that electricity prices will go up?

I think prices will go higher - but not for the reasons you think I suspect.

Wholesale electricity prices saw decreases in early 2025 (e.g., a 6.4% drop in March 2025 compared to February 2025). The average wholesale cost also fell steadily from €167.51 in January 2025 to €111.11 in April 2025.

Reports I am reading suggest wholesale electricity prices will continue to ease across the year. Again these are forecasts and are based on current economic conditions. If things changes so will the forecasts.

So is whole prices fall, Flogas BWG users will miss out, along with paying higher network charges.

Fixed charges (i.e. network charges) are probably going to rise. However the Flogas fixed rate discount applies only to the unit cost portion (which in turn is affected by the wholesale price). If network charges increase, Flogas will bump those up accordingly.

VAT will go up. But again, that will affect everyone equally regardless

Bullet point 2:

18 month minimum term applies, unit rate and standing charge are variable and are subject to change

They've actually changed the wording since February. The previous wording was: "This is a fixed energy contract meaning that the energy component of the unit rate and standing charge are fixed for the duration of the contract, but regulated pass-through charges may change. If we need to adjust these rates because of regulated charge changes, we will write to you 30 days in advance of the change"

Its not fixed unit rate at all.

Not hell bent on anything yet but you've not made a decent argument to show I'm wrong.

You're not necessarily wrong, you're just giving bad advice about a product you don't understand. Whats cheapest for you isn't necessarily the cheapest thing for the next person. Someone with solar, a heat pump, and an EV has a very different energy profile to someone with gas heating, a petrol car, and no solar. For very low users, Yuno may work out the cheapest because of the €200 sign up bonus (not that'd id recommend them). It not just about who has the cheapest night rate or how long it lasts, someone with batteries can charge up during the EV rate, predict their usage during the day to ensure discharge during peak hours, and use solar if needed.

There are other people in the thread with a bit more knowledge of the area that, it appears to me, you're being needlessly confrontational with.

Everyone just wants to find the cheapest rate for themselves and help others find theirs too. Thats what this thread is about.

A post 6 minutes later to outline how you're not confrontational but you don't actually look into the point thats being made about the FloGas. Ok pal, you're not being confrontational…..

Ive also never even implied that what suits me suits everyone.

Cool stuff buddy, read back your own posts and you'll see what I mean or you won't, I don't care.

You're believing it doesn't make it so.

Same applies to your own posts. Just because you don't believe you've implied something, doesn't mean you have not.

Im out buddy!

Anyone noticed SSE Airtricity doesnt feature at all on Bonkers or Switcher?

It's about the 5th result for me searching dual fuel on Bonkers.

Ok so not sure if anyone can advise here but I recently signed up to the BWG duel fuel offer with flogas on an 18 month contract. I will be getting Solar installed in about 5 weeks and was wondering can you sell back to flogas and do they do an EV rate, or would I be better biting the bullet and paying cancelation fee and looking elsewhere, any advice?

Getting a smart meter in next week and buying an EV then. What is the best supplier and tariff for the EV night rate? Thanks

I didn’t receive any calls, the switch went through electronically. (Might have been bonkers).

if you have switched then I doubt you will get a call, the only time I’ve gotten a call using a comparison website is when the only option was to request a call back

Did you mean me @omegagene?

I've done that yes thanks, all the plans it suggests seem to have peak use unit rates, and even when I filter by standard plans it's showing those peak rates with the day and night rates if the plan has them

I can't use a lot of things at night so it's the immersion and the storage heaters mainly, the day rate I'm on is so high and that's come down from where it was

Basically don't know if I'm snookered trying to find a day/night plan with lower unit rates or do I have to go with a smart plan

Also trying to do this on a phone is torturous, tables like that are just really hard to see and manoeuvre so I'm losing patience

If you have registered with ESBNetworks.ie you can download your data file & upload it to energypal.ie or bonkers.ie to see the best plan for your usage profile.

The first thing I would do is get away from prepay power.

Hi guys my contract with Flogas is almost finish. I was on 24hr aff fixed rate 23.44c inc. vat. Do u know is there any good plans with similar price??? Thanks
