Pinergy Feedback

In your original message I read “rate” not “tariff”.

They don’t say what happens when the tariff expires… definitely they are making more money of the other tariffs.

the distinctive combo of EV 2-5 with the 25c FIT “rate” is what makes this tariff the best. Once the 25c goes down, am going elsewhere, this wouldn’t be competitive.

When I resigned up last October they told me the website was stating 24 months contracts but they were all 12 month ones.. I chatted to them on the phone.. I guess it was a total outlier in the market so days are numbered. Hopefully they leave existing customers on it after the 12 months are up..

Yeah just called them on the phone as well and I signed up last Nov. I confirmed with them I have a 24 month contract and they will honor that for the 24 months…phew! now when it comes to this coming Novemeber will they try and squirm out of it… but I will make hay for this summer anyway.

I only signed up to the deal last month, hopefully have a good year of it and then will switch.

The large amount of people taking the cheap EV and 3 hr rate to fill up their batteries is something they've got wind of I'd imagine, others will do the same. All they have to do is read social media and posts like on here to see themselves being sucker punched. Maybe they'll come back with a good 3 hr rate and EV rate but with proof of it being for an EV. Shouldn't be too difficult to do in this modern IT age we're in.

What's the current best alternative with 2-3-4 cheap night rate and comparable FIT rate?

Looking at the rates Im thinking Flogas is next best…..certainly they have next cheapest EV rate and its for 3 hours. Energia have this over usage rate and Im sure most people on this thread woudl blow that out of the water every 2 months.

Its now getting into the terrority of Im thinking these new dynamic enerey tarrifs which are supposed to be coming in next week!!! might be ok now…depends on the yet to be seen mark up they put on the Day Ahead price and do they give you the DAM prices for your export…but they might not be so bad now

Got Gemini to anaylse the DAM half hour prices for the last 12 months, got it to check the average during the winter months and the summer months. The average lows at night are in anad around 8-9 cent but for longer periods…but again thats not including the markup which could be 2-3 cent?? wait to see in the next week ot two I presume when the usppliers come out with their plans.

Yes, they may all do this. Can't really blame them to tell you the truth

You are not locked into any rates , Pinergy could treble their rates tomorrow and also reduce FIT to 1c and there is nothing you can do about it. All you can do is leave the contract without penalty.

I always got the impression that Pinergy customer base was largely homes/people on PAYG meters. Anytime I spoke to customer services, I always got the impression I was unusual for not being PAYG! Their PAYG rates are horrendous, so I always felt we were being subsidised by those customers. We're planning on moving home this summer. I wonder will they allow me to move the plan as I'm still under contract for another 6 months! I uploaded my usage to Kilowatt.ie and annual is negative for Pingergy on the EV plan and just shy of €600 on the next best Flogas one so it just shows what a seriously good deal it is/was.

An IT Issue ? , No usage on the App for the last 4 days!

Now 5 days with no data on the App.

I just got an email from customer care saying there was a technical reason for the delay in refunding FIT.
They said payment will be processed shortly and they are paying an extra €60 as compensation.
Gotta be happy with that.
