Iberdrola: Reviews, Rates, & Ireland Login

Iberdrola is the second energy provider in Ireland to leave the energy market amidst the energy crisis. But what does this mean for its customers? What were Iberdrola Ireland rates and reviews? Read on to find out everything about the Irish energy supplier.

Iberdrola is no longer operating in Ireland

The energy provider announced it stopped supplying electricity and gas to its Irish customers as of June 8th, 2022.

Consequently, under the supplier of last resort measures, all Iberdrola electricity customers have been moved to Electric Ireland and their natural gas customers to Bord Gais Energy.

We answer the most common questions Iberdrola customers may have about the CRU’s supplier of last resort measures.

Will my electricity and gas get cut off?

No! Iberdrola customers will not notice any change in their electricity and gas supply at home even if the company is leaving. The supplier of last resort is in place for exactly this purpose: to ensure no one is left without energy.

Iberdrola clients now have their electricity by Electric Ireland and their gas provided by Bord Gáis.

Should you encounter difficulties with your electricity at home, you will need to contact Electric Ireland directly to resolve the issue. For any gas-related problem, please contact Bord Gáis Energy for assistance.

How much will I be paying for my electricity and gas?

Your Iberdrola tariff ended when the company ceased to operate in Ireland on 8 June 2022.

Iberdrola electricity customers are placed on Electric Ireland’s standard tariff which is currently priced at 28.12c kWh. Gas customers are on Bord Gáis’ standard gas rate of 9.83c kWh. Remember that each company will add standing charges regardless of your electricity and gas usage.

Typically, standard rates are the most expensive tariffs an energy provider will have; however, they do offer more flexibility.

Changing Suppliers To avoid being on the energy supplier’s highest price plans, the CRU recommends switching providers every 12 months. This is to benefit from welcome bonuses and higher discount rates many companies offer new customers.

Do I have to stay with Electric Ireland and Bord Gáis?

No! However, if you didn’t change providers prior to June 8th, you now have to wait the initial 20-day period before being able to switch either energy supplier. This mandatory cooling-off period is part of the supplier of last resort measures.

After this period ends, you will have the freedom to select an electricity and gas supplier of your choice. It is very likely that both companies will contact Iberdrola customers to offer you a different plan to their standard tariffs.

You are under no obligation to accept their offers, instead, we would recommend that you take the time to compare the market before settling on any new plan.

With the ongoing global energy crisis, prices can vary greatly between suppliers and it is worth taking the time to shop around before settling on a new provider.

Will I still receive my €200 energy government rebate?

Yes! If you haven’t received your €200 electricity payment yet, Iberdrola announced it will be applying the credit to its customers’ final bill.

What is the energy rebate scheme? Given the continuous rise in the cost of electricity in 2022, the Government announced it will award a €200 one-off payment to every household in Ireland, some 2.1 million homes.

Iberdrola Gas Rates

Initially, an electricity-only provider, Iberdrola began supplying gas as well in Ireland, thus enabling both existing customers and prospective customers to avail themselves of dual fuel or gas-only options in addition to electricity.

As with the electricity tariffs, customers can avail of discounted gas rates. Iberdrola Ireland offers a discounted gas plan. The Gas Discount Saver tariff provides 32.5% off the standard rate.

Iberdrola Dual fuel Prices

For those who are interested in a dual fuel option, the discount is set at 30% for both fuels with a cashback discount of €264.

*Last updated July 2022. Calculations include Cashback.

What are Iberdrola Ireland's Exit Fees?

As tends to be standard with Irish energy suppliers, there is a €50 exit fee per fuel. As contracts with Iberdrola Ireland have a duration of 12 months, if you switch suppliers within that period you will be liable to pay an additional €50 per fuel with your final bill. However, you can switch tariffs or suppliers within the last 49 days of your contract and you won't be charged an exit fee.

You cannot be charged an exit fee if you decide to exit your contract within the first 14 days of it, also known as the “cooling off” period.

Marie Fleming - Trustpilot, May 2022

The relatively low number of complaints generally pertain to technical issues with the app or online account system, as well as untimely billing.

Iberdrola Ireland Reviews on Google

On Google, Iberdrola Ireland has a slightly lower overall rating of 4.2 out of five stars. However, this is based on only 388 reviews.

I've been an Iberdrola customer for gas and electricity for four years. I continually find the customer service support at Iberdrola to be excellent - easy to get to speak to a human, and they are really well trained, knowledgeable and helpful. If I have to move elsewhere to get a better tariff, I will miss the fantastic customer experience.

Eimear Cahalin - Google Reviews, April 2022

The main complaint from clients leaving a poor review for Iberdrola Ireland are the high prices and high bills. An Iberdrola representative has replied to all the comments left online by customers.

The fact that the provider takes the time to answer these comments is a further testament to the excellent customer service they give.

What is the Iberdrola Ireland Login?

If you are an existing client, Iberdrola provides an online login account for its customers. If you have already registered for an online account, follow these steps to log in:

1. Access the Iberdrola Ireland homepage.
2. Click the button that says "Log in to My Account" in green letters in the top right corner.

If you are a new Iberdrola Ireland customer and would like to create an online account, you can register online.

You will receive your Iberdrola login information via email while you are awaiting your final bill.

If you do need to register, you will need your MPRN (Meter Point Reference Number) and your Iberdrola account number.

You can find the MPRN for your household on any previous electricity bill. Iberdrola will have provided you with your account number upon registering, on any Iberdrola bill, or in your welcome pack. If you have any issues finding your account number you can contact Iberdrola customer service.

Iberdrola Online Billing

In line with its green philosophy, Iberdrola operates on a paperless principle. Bills can be viewed or downloaded from the “Bills & Payments” section of its website.

There is also an energy usage section that details your annual consumption and consumption per billing period. Bills are issued bimonthly and will appear in the “Bills and Payments” website section. If customers have opted for Direct Debit billing, payments will leave their accounts 14 days after a bill is due.

Iberdrola Ireland App

As with most modern energy suppliers, Iberdrola provides a smartphone app with similar functionality to the online account. Customers who prefer to use the app while they’re out and about will find its functions include:

• Submit meter readings online
• Chat when you need help (app version of webchat)
• View bills and payments

As Iberdrola is such a new addition to the Irish energy market, there are currently very few reviews available for the app, which is available on both Google Play and Apple App Store.

In Google Play, the Iberdrola app has 100 reviews and an overall score of just 3 out of five stars. In the App Store, the app has over 157 comments with a better score of 4.1 out of five stars.

Google Play Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
App Store Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Users on both platforms have mainly complained about the inability to log in to their account with the app. Those who can enter their account details with the app seem quite happy with the ease of its use.
