What Is the Selectra Score Methodology?
The Selectra Score for is calculated from the following key elements:
50% - Price Rating: This is a key part of our score.
We calculate the total estimated annual cost for a typical household based on the CRU's average consumption figures (4,200 kWh for electricity and 11,000 kWh for gas).
We then rank each plan based on its total annual cost, including all discounts and cash-back offers, to determine its price percentile.
- The total cost is calculated for a full year, including any introductory discounts or promotional rates.
- We also consider the pay-as-you-go options for those suppliers who offer them.
30% - Customer Service Rating: We assign points based on the supplier's reputation for customer satisfaction.
This score is a qualitative rating that sums the following criteria:
- Independent Reviews: We consider the average ratings from independent review platforms like Trustpilot and Google, as well as feedback collected directly from users on our own website.
- Service Features: We also give points for additional services that improve the customer experience, such as a user-friendly mobile app, or online customer support channels (phone, email, live chat).
20% - Green Credentials Rating: We evaluate the environmental impact of each plan.
- Electricity: We check the latest fuel mix disclosure from the supplier. A higher percentage of renewable sources earns more points.
- Gas: We award points for plans that offer carbon-neutral or "green gas" options, which offset the carbon emissions associated with gas consumption.
Who Is the Cheapest Electricity Provider in Ireland?
Who Is Our Average User?
To establish the criteria for our Selectra Score, we have defined an average user profile that allows us to consistently evaluate offers.
Our average user for determining a good offer is based on the average Irish household, which is defined by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU).
The average user is defined as a typical home with an average consumption of 4,200 kWh of electricity and 11,000 kWh of gas per year.
This profile represents the most common needs in the current Irish context, and we use it as a benchmark to compare offers.
In cases where we evaluate specific plans for different consumption patterns, such as for households with higher-than-average usage or those with electric vehicles, we apply specific modifiers to evaluate and calculate the Selectra Score.
Average Electricity and Gas Bill
The average electricity bill in Ireland is €1,817.12 for a 24hr urban standard meter, while the average gas bill is €1,571.04 on a standard meter.
