Who Is the Cheapest Electricity Provider in Ireland?
SSE Airtricity offers a comprehensive range of energy services, providing 100% renewable electricity and gas to both residential and commercial customers. Customers benefit from a selection of standard and smart energy plans, as well as options for solar panel and electric vehicle charger installations, making it a convenient choice for those seeking sustainable solutions. The company is recognised for its strong infrastructure, extensive experience within the sector, and regular introductory offers and discounts, particularly suited to environmentally conscious consumers.
On the downside, SSE Airtricity is sometimes criticised for perceived high prices and a lack of price competitiveness, especially in comparison with smaller suppliers. Customers may also experience long wait times or inconsistencies in customer service, which is a common issue among larger energy providers. While the company’s green credentials are strong, prospective customers should carefully review current rates and be aware of scheduled rate increases and variable pricing structures.
Yuno Energy offers a range of electricity and gas plans, including both fixed and variable rates, and stands out for its digital-first approach, with a user-friendly app providing consumption insights and flexible payment options. The supplier is competitive on price, often featuring some of the cheapest deals and regular promotions such as welcome bonuses and a winter price freeze, while also offering customer support seven days a week. Additionally, customers with microgeneration benefit from a Clean Export Guarantee for exporting surplus energy.
However, Yuno Energy’s heavy reliance on its mobile app may not suit those who prefer traditional account management or are not comfortable with digital platforms. Some customers have expressed concerns regarding the accuracy of the predictive billing system and difficulties with obtaining refunds, while there can be problems if smart meters provide faulty data. As a relatively new entrant with a limited track record, there may also be questions about long-term stability and customer service compared to more established providers.
