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

I must look at Energia's terms and conditions to make sure i dont have to refund them the €75 cash bonus along with the €50 exit penalty!

What about energia's standing charge increase wef from 9 Oct?

I see Electric Ireland have reduced there welcome credit to €10... It was €20 when I checked this morning. 😡

If your referring to the Home SST Saver 30% plans, its €10 on the dual fuel and €20 on the electricity only.

Energia don't appear to have any clawback provisions in their T&Cs or offers that I can find. You should also check the offer documentation that was supplied at signup.

That being said I would expect that they would try to do so in a final invoice.

the BWG Flogas rates are still open - contract upto 30th Sept 2026 - Smart day night rates are the best available from what i can see.

standard rate :

Has it been clarified that the "fixed" part of the BWG tariff is the actual rate or discount?

regular smart meter as far as i know - that's what i have and they didn't say anything about having to change meter.

as regards fixed rate - i'm taking it as the rate as there is no mention of % discounts on the webpage…

Anyone ever seen this on a bill? My bill from last month got reversed and they hit me with a higher bill. Can't make head nor tail of it, my contract is up tomorrow so I'm ringing them anyway

Yes that happen to me when I was with SSE. It ended up being a few Euro higher, I didn't contact them as at that time it was extremely difficult to get through to them and I decided that forgoing the few Euro was worth not spending 20+ minutes to even get through to someone, plus my contract was nearly up and I was switching. Trying to do anything with them via social media at the time was pointless as I recall, which is probably why I was phoning them.

Just out of contract with Energia this week. Great timing! Was on smart Dual fuel 29/29. I was going to separate out my gas and electricity and go with Electric Ireland smart electricity 30% and Flogas 30% gas only.

Electric Ireland dropping their gas price from November has brought the gas to the same or slightly under Flogas so i switched both to Electric Ireland this morning. Home Dual SST 30%. I will use minimal gas between now and 1 November so the slightly higher gas rate over the next month before the reduction is not really an issue.

It will be interesting to see if Energia ring me and what rates they offer to retain me considering the increase that's due in October. I can see Electric Ireland pulling in a lot of Energia customers. Hopefully they don't get us in and then pile up the rates🙄

The way the fixed is stated there would make me think the unit rate is fixed.

What's the difference between BWG Flogas and the usual Flogas?

The difficulty is, at the time the new deal was rolled out, the wording was odd on the website. A few people rang up, myself included, to be told the deal was not fixed rate and that the rate could be increased if pass through charges increased. Hence, it is fixed with some exceptions. I think other people rang up at the time to be told something different but I'd have to read back over the thread from that time.

That was April (memory might be wrong on that). They have since redesigned the website and the T&C's have also been updated. Hence, there may not be one answer for everyone. People on this plan were not affected by the recent FloGas increase.

I don't think anyone claimed its a true variable rate but fixed rate with certain conditions that may lead to a change in that rate.

the sign up letter just said the discount was fixed

I think it always said that and everyone here always ignored it. Standard letter.

What's the difference between BWG Flogas and the usual Flogas?

Just a special offer for BWG employees that anyone can sign up for. Same way people refer to Energia Axa (Energia your supplier but special rate for Axa customers).

Me too,I switched from Energia to BG over a week ago but haven't heard anything back yet,I might ring them and I might not?🤔

ringing tk let them know your switching never works out well these days, when a switch has been started they sometimes call to try and keep you but rarely have a good offer
