Who Is the Cheapest Electricity Provider in Ireland?
Electric Ireland benefits from a long-standing reputation and robust infrastructure as part of the ESB, providing stability and reliability for its 1.1 million customers. The company offers a wide range of services, including dual fuel tariffs, smart meter plans, prepaid gas options, and sustainable solutions such as solar panel installation and building retrofitting. Additional strengths include various customer support channels and comprehensive online resources.
However, Electric Ireland is often criticised for its high prices and has faced ongoing complaints about its customer service, notably regarding long wait times and difficulty in issue resolution. Despite its extensive service offering, these concerns are reflected in low ratings on platforms like Trustpilot and Google, where it averages 1.45 stars overall. Such feedback may be a consideration for potential customers weighing their options in the Irish energy market.
Flogas offers a wide range of energy solutions in Ireland, including electricity, natural gas, and LPG, making it particularly valuable for rural customers who are not connected to the natural gas grid. The company supports energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives, such as solar panel installation and feed-in tariffs, and provides 100% green energy options for both single and dual fuel tariffs. Its diverse offerings and expertise in LPG are notable strengths, especially for customers seeking flexible energy options.
However, Flogas is primarily known as a gas and LPG provider, which means its experience and reputation in the electricity market may not match larger, more established electricity suppliers. Some customers have noted variability in customer service quality, with reports of inconsistent response times and issue resolution, while others critique its continued reliance on fossil fuels despite its green energy options. Additionally, despite a strong Trustpilot rating, Google reviews suggest disparities in customer satisfaction.
