Hello, just wondered has anyone had experience of the better crowd to go with e.g electric ireland, airtricity etc ? We would be new customers, we were on pre pay power so looking to stay away from that as i think it was more expensive in the long run. Any opinions?

Bonkers for sure. Last time I looked Iberdrola was the cheapest if signing up for both gas and electric

I found https://www.moneyguideireland.com/electricity-and-gas-cheapest-combined-prices.html to be very useful for info on the best rates currently.

I went full rainman analysing our bills in Excel and which provider to move to back in March (from Electric Ireland) for both Gas and Electricity and Energia were the cheapest at that time. Their website/account management is quite good also I find.
