Who Is the Cheapest Electricity Provider in Ireland?
Energia offers 100% renewable energy to residential and commercial customers across Ireland, with a comprehensive range of plans catering to users of solar panels and electric vehicles. The company provides competitive pricing, attractive discounts for new customers, and supports microgeneration through feed-in tariffs and installation services for solar panels and batteries. Additionally, Energia’s significant investment in wind farms means they contribute 21% of Ireland’s wind-generated power, further underpinning their commitment to sustainability.
However, Energia, like many large energy providers, is often criticised for poor customer support, including long wait times and billing issues. Despite their competitive offers, the high cost of electricity in Ireland can make their tariffs appear expensive to some customers. Overall, while their green credentials and innovative promotions are compelling, potential customers should carefully weigh these against reported service drawbacks.
Flogas offers a wide range of energy solutions in Ireland, including natural gas, electricity, and LPG, and is particularly noted for its expertise in LPG, which is valuable for rural customers not connected to the natural gas grid. The supplier provides 100% green electricity tariffs, incentives such as sign-up bonuses and partner promotions, and supports renewable energy through solar panel installations and competitive feed-in tariffs. Customers seeking a single supplier for multiple needs might also find their bundled plans and offers, such as welcome credits and EV incentives, to be cost-effective.
However, Flogas has certain drawbacks, including a potentially weaker track record in electricity compared to more established electricity providers, and its ongoing focus on gas and LPG, which may not appeal to those seeking exclusively green energy suppliers. Customer service ratings are mixed, with some customers noting variable response times and problem resolution issues, and their standard energy rates are not always the most competitive. As with other large suppliers, pricing, quality of support, and the overall green credentials are important factors prospective customers should carefully consider before switching.
