Hi folks,
If you are moving out of your accommodation and the Electric Ireland electricity/gas is in your name, don't forget it's really important to close your account to avoid being billed after you move.
You cannot transfer your account into e.g. the new tenant's name – they would be required to set up their own account; all you need to do is close your account, and bills after that point will not be anything for you to worry about.

(Customers are never held liable by us for bills that are not in their own name).
To close your account, just take a meter reading on your last day (this will cover usage up to the point you leave) and contact us with this and the name/number of your landlord/letting agency (these contact details are required to prevent vacant premises disconnection by ESB Networks/Gas Networks Ireland if there is a delay with anyone registering after you move out). If you are not an online billing customer, provide us with your new address for forwarding your final bill based on this meter reading. If you are too busy to contact us on the day you move, don't worry – you can contact us shortly after this date.
If you know the person who will be taking over the electricity/gas account, advise them to contact us to register an account in their name. They will also need to provide a meter reading for billing from that point onwards, as well as the electricity MPRN (meter point reference number) and/or GPRN (gas).
We can process the above here on Boards by private message also. One thing we are unable to process here on Boards is direct debit details, so if you are setting up an electricity/gas account and want to pay by direct debit (this eliminates the €300 security deposit for new customers) telephone our Customer Service on 1850 372 372 (open 8am to 8pm Monday to Saturday).
Best of luck with the moves!
