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

as long as you know what you’re signing up to and can’t revert back it’s fine

this is terrible… why do you not have the discounted rate since you completed the application and you provided your readings? what do they say on this?

Got an email a few days after signing up saying they were swithching over to a new system and new applications were being put on hold for a few days and would start being processed from the 28th October. That was 3 weeks ago now.

Girl on the phone couldn't tell me how long more it will take and to lodge an official complaint when it is processed.

Not a bargain but might influence a decision to move elsewhere.

For those using the Energia Smart Drive 2am to 6am plan the standard discount seems to have dropped to 10% now from 15%.

2am to 6am - 9.42c

All other times 40.16.

Very tempted to move to pinergy now.

This looks like a no brainer move……

FYI if you have dual fule, i am with Flogas so not going to compare with them but seem better than SSE with 350 cash back

I have no idea what that's supposed to show us but if you're a well below average user then making calculations based on 4200 kWh is pretty pointless.

Final update on this

Still haven't heard anything from Flogas so rang them again this morning. 40 minutes waiting to get through then was told that there's been a glitch with their new signing up system, my application can't be processed and that I'd have to sign up again through their sales department.

So that's 5 weeks with zero communication from them on the status of my application, paying full price for electricity with my previous supplier to be basically told "soz, we f*cked up, can you sign up again please?".

They can stick it. Not giving them a f*cking penny. Genuinely the worst company I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with.

Back to Energypal to see what the next best deal is.

I'm due to switch soon. Have a non-activated D/N meter. Looks like I will have to activate and go to Yuno 😯, that e265 credit is too tempting

Folks,

I'm out of contract on electricy. For an average user paying by direct debit with a smart reader, is Yuno the cheapest?

Just done the annual switch 21.11.2025 (non-smart plans).

Was with energia electric 38% discount @ 26.44c since price rise, and SSE for gas 20% discount 0.091c since price rise (inc VAT).

Moved to Fixed Dual Fuel with SSE as their fixed electricity 0.2463c (standing €240.97) & gas 0.074c (standing €152.31) were best for me (all inc VAT).

FloGas was close, but I've had issues there, and their standing charge for elec is a bit higher. Gas and elec rates were 0.02409 (standing €275.39) and 0.0741 (standing €151.18).

Yuno was also in the mix 0.25 (standing €207.08) and 0.0754 (standing €150.03).

Others, even with advertised discounted plans / cashback weren't really at the races.

BG 0.2912 / 0.0793, EI 0.2641 / 0.0845 and Energia 0.3199 / 0.0845

Was on EI with 30% and came to end of contract and they offered 24%. Flogas was cheaper but given the problems and delays reported here I ended up sticking with EI for another year. Reckoned any big delays with Flogas would result in big bills with EI which would eat into the price difference. Energia, BordGais etc, don't seem to be even trying to compete

The smart ev deals out there don't seem to be the greatest, from looking its perhaps Electric Ireland seem to have the best one per the below unless I am missing something? We have a hybrid car so only need to charge it 2-3 hours max per night.
