Who Is the Cheapest Electricity Provider in Ireland?
Electric Ireland is one of Ireland’s largest energy providers, supplying electricity and gas to nearly 1.1 million customers and offering a comprehensive range of tariffs, dual fuel deals, smart meter plans, and sustainable solutions such as solar panel installation and energy retrofitting. As a subsidiary of the ESB, it benefits from strong infrastructure and established reliability, backed by a variety of customer support channels and loyalty incentives, including SuperValu rewards and promotions on solar PV installations. Regular introductory discounts and ongoing loyalty schemes, as well as a dedicated microgeneration export rate, enhance its appeal for both new and existing customers.
However, Electric Ireland is frequently criticised for high prices and has received recurring negative feedback regarding customer service, reflected in consistently low review scores on platforms such as Trustpilot and Google. Issues such as long wait times and difficulties in resolving account matters are commonly cited, with customer contact rates reported as slightly above its market share. Despite a reduction in complaints in 2024, these persistent concerns, alongside tariff rates often viewed as uncompetitive, may deter cost-conscious or service-focused consumers.
Yuno Energy stands out as Ireland’s newest energy supplier, offering fixed and variable rate electricity and gas tariffs, as well as smart dual fuel plans. The provider’s digital-first approach includes a user-friendly mobile app for detailed usage insights, real-time tracking, and predictive billing, and features flexible payment systems and customer support seven days a week. Customers can also benefit from competitive rates, innovative sign-up incentives, a winter price freeze on tariffs, and a Clean Export Guarantee for microgeneration exports.
However, Yuno Energy’s reliance on its mobile app may pose challenges for less tech-savvy customers or those who prefer traditional billing methods. There have been reported issues with the predictive billing system, such as higher-than-expected estimated bills and refund delays, while the dependency on smart meters can create difficulties should meter faults occur. Additionally, as a relatively new market entrant, Yuno may lack the established reputation and long-term stability associated with larger, more experienced providers.
