Networks Smart meter server Upgrade gone wrong

Im not an expert but if Networks have reading up to the 5th and get readings for say today, presumably as you suggest the consumption is easily figured out.Nothing new on my Networks account though I was told my some one in a major Supplier that they expected amended readings to come across today obviously probably not for all accounts immediately

There's still issues with the data issued by Networks yesterday. It's really screwed up the wholesale settlement process

shoegirl · 13-03-2026 12:36AM

Absolutely stunned me that this data was allowed to go to public consumption for so long without rolling back.

shoegirl · 13-03-2026 12:38AM

Yes, that was the first thing I did and was happy to see it showed expected readings instead of the insane stuff ESB Networks online showed

shoegirl · 13-03-2026 12:40AM

It's a reading data recording error (basically using watt instead of kilowatts values). Not a meter effort. Your meter will still have correct cumulative data. I don't know how many days data it stores for incremental readings

discostu1 · 13-03-2026 10:22AM

Has anyone's Network account been "corrected/updated at this stage?

graememk · 13-03-2026 11:20AM

Just the bad data removed

discostu1 · 13-03-2026 11:26AM

Interesting, today my solar is flying so getting the FIT up and running will be important

As far as I can tell there was never an issue with the FIT calculations. Only the import data, which now seems to be showing the correct reading also as of this morning

I'm with EI and all corrected up to 11 March now. Back to normal hopefully.

bunderoon · 13-03-2026 04:13PM

BG still still working on it so it appears.

discostu1 · 13-03-2026 04:48PM

I am with EI and still no update

MicktheMan · 13-03-2026 07:36PM

Is this data issue still ongoing?

I've just checked my ESBN account and nothing recorded for either import or export since Mar 5th!

It's gonna take a while for everything to catch up.

It will catch up, eventually.

homewardbound11 · 16-03-2026 11:17PM

just checked esb networks and my export hasn’t been updated since the 6th of March. Let’s hope they sort it out by the end of the month.

Agreed, I can only imagine the headache that is for IT to try and figure out how to retrospectively correct it all.

Heroditas · 17-03-2026 10:44PM

They're applying manual corrections to a lot of the data.

mbarosin · 18-03-2026 08:42AM

My ESB networks data is still stuck on march 5th but Pinergy seems to be getting data from somewhere as they are showing my usage for the past few days. It doesn't seem correct though as it's not matching to my PV system data

discostu1 · 18-03-2026 08:45AM

I think this is going to be interesting , how they figure out what the various Solar Apps say vrs what the amended /reinputted data says. There should be only very small differences but I suspect many will be watching closely

bunderoon · 18-03-2026 11:01AM

Bord Gais Energy still not showing either.

discostu1 · 18-03-2026 02:05PM

Are bills issuing? I presume they must be but the "correction" is taking a long time

Bills aren't generally until the end of the month.

Bills would likely be delayed then too if waiting on data.

discostu1 · 18-03-2026 03:56PM

Bills or at least when I was involved run on a 60 to 66 day cycle ( for the majority of Bi mensal billed customers) so My bills issue usually mid month or 23ish at the latest. Monthly bill can look for a fixed date

my bills are monthly and run from 16th to 15th. Generally issued in the 17th. Paymemt due on the 1st

I’m with electric Ireland

discostu1 · 18-03-2026 10:37PM

Monthly Bills in general were issued around Mid month. From memory, customer could look for a fixed payment date . With the exception of Pre pay bills most, not all are on the 60 /66 day cycle. This was as much a historic thing due to meter readers getting the readings in. With Smart you in theory can issue weekly/ monthly bills ......At the moment Im not convinced there isn't a bigger issue as its certainly taking longer than I would have thought it should

graememk · 19-03-2026 12:07AM

If monthly bills are issued mid month, would it cover Feb or mid Feb to mid march? If its just the Feb this error won't be in it.

To me, it's not taking longer than I'd think it would take, it's gonna take a while for the data to be shown as they don't want the media storm of getting it wrong again.

And it's a known issue for one day. Easier to delay a bill than put out bad bill.

discostu1 · 19-03-2026 08:23AM

I hope your right

naughtysmurf · 19-03-2026 08:58AM

Yuno hasn’t updated since March 5th, I know what I’m consuming as I too have solar, Yuno have stated they won’t issue bills until it’s all corrected, does the fact that a lot of consumers are also on time of use contracts complicate it a bit more?

mbarosin · 19-03-2026 10:42AM

Pinergy app is showing usage for the last few days. The overall usage is not a million miles off what my system is showing. But the time of use is way off. 99% of my usage is during the EV period whereas as pinergy are showing usage throughout the day.

I'll wait until the ESB networks data starts showing again before querying with Pinergy.
