Are you thinking about changing your electricity provider?

Rising costs, estimated bills and a lack of transparency are some of the main reasons people in Ireland choose to switch electricity provider – especially away from traditional suppliers.

The good news?
Switching electricity provider is simple, safe, and doesn’t interrupt your supply. With more choice than ever, the key is knowing what to look for before you switch.

What do you need to switch your electricity provider?

Switching is straightforward. You’ll just need:

1. Your MPRN (Meter Point Reference Number) found on your electricity bill.
2. Payment card details.
3. Your name, address and contact details.

That’s it! Your new supplier takes care of the rest.

Tips to choosing the right electricity provider.

Before switching electricity provider in Ireland, make sure the plan genuinely suits how you live and use energy. Here are four smart things to check:

• Get a Smart Meter. A smart meter lets you see exactly how much electricity you’re using — no estimates, no guesswork.
• Choose green energy. Renewable energy is better for the planet and can help you make more conscious energy choices at home.
• Check the app experience. Most suppliers rely on apps for billing and insights. Look for one that gives you clear, real-time usage data – not just a monthly bill.
• Pick a plan that suits your lifestyle.
  • Compare:
    1. Estimated Annual Bill (EAB)
    2. Unit rates and standing charges
    3. Monthly billing vs Pay As You Go
  • For house-sharing, PAYG can help manage costs. If you cover the full household bill, a monthly plan may suit you better.
