Who Is the Cheapest Electricity Provider in Ireland?
Energia offers a range of advantages for customers in Ireland. They provide 100% renewable energy, a wide variety of standard and smart tariffs—including plans specifically for electric vehicle owners and solar panel users—and attractive discounts, particularly for new customers. The company also supports microgeneration with competitive feed-in tariffs, maintains a substantial share of Ireland’s wind-generated power, and offers promotional packages such as discounted solar installations and EV charging bundles.
However, there are some notable drawbacks to consider. Customers frequently cite issues with customer service, including long waiting times and unresolved billing problems, while the high cost of electricity in Ireland can make Energia appear expensive compared to other options. Additionally, as with many larger suppliers, perceptions of inconsistent service and complicated billing may detract from the overall customer experience.
Flogas offers a comprehensive range of energy solutions in Ireland, including natural gas, LPG, and electricity, and is recognised for its expertise in supplying LPG to rural areas not served by the main gas grid. The supplier provides 100% green energy options, participates in energy efficiency schemes, and supports renewable generation with solar panel installation services and feed-in tariffs. Flogas also attracts new customers with competitive sign-up incentives and added-value promotions, such as welcome credits and partnership offers.
However, Flogas is primarily established as a gas and LPG provider and may not match the electricity market experience of larger, specialised electricity suppliers. Some customers report varying service standards, with criticism around response times and problem resolution, as reflected in their average online ratings. Additionally, while green electricity tariffs are available, the company’s core reliance on fossil fuels and mixed customer reviews may be a concern for environmentally conscious or service-focused users.
