Who Is the Cheapest Electricity Provider in Ireland?
SSE Airtricity stands out for its strong commitment to sustainability, supplying 100% renewable electricity and offering a comprehensive range of services, including gas, smart tariffs, solar panel and EV charger installations. The company boasts extensive experience and a significant customer base, supported by attractive introductory discounts and innovative options such as premium export rates for solar microgeneration. As a large and established supplier, SSE Airtricity offers a variety of plans and bundles, making it a convenient choice for both residential and commercial customers.
However, SSE Airtricity is often criticised for higher prices and a perceived lack of competitiveness compared to some smaller providers. Customers also occasionally report long wait times and inconsistent experiences with customer service, a challenge common within large energy companies. While the company offers significant discounts and welcome credits, standard unit rates and standing charges are subject to scheduled increases, which can affect ongoing value.
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.
