FAQs

Households are not required to have a smart metre, and there are many electricity plans for 24hr and Nightsaver metres. However, time-of-use tariffs, EV charging plans, and other smart plans require a smart metre.

If you get a smart metre installed on your property it doesn’t have to change anything, and you are not required to switch to a smart time-of-use tariff.

Whether or not a smart plan with day/night/peak time-of-use tariffs is worth getting will depend on electricity usage patterns in individual households. EV owners could benefit from a night boost plan, and those who avoid peak hour might also save money.

There are many ways to pay electricity bills, with some plans restricted to certain means of payment. Direct debit payment tends to be the best option in terms of convenience, and the discounts offered by electricity companies.

All households can avail of a €250 energy credit for electricity bills, with one half paid before the end of 2024 and the other half paid in the new year. The winter fuel allowance can also help with the cost of electricity used for heating.
