Find your cheapest electricity plan
Load the smart meter file from your ESB Networks account. Every plan is priced on each half hour you actually used, then we show where your power goes and what solar, a battery or an electric car would change.
Rates from suppliers’ own price lists, checked weekly.
Test changes against your real readings
Each half hour of your data is re-run with these panels, battery and car, then every plan is re-priced.
Prices include VAT, the supplier’s stated discount and the PSO levy (€6.67 a year). Standing charges differ for rural homes. Discounts usually last 12 months. Check the plan with the supplier before switching.
Before you sign
Tick what your quote includes. Anything missing becomes a question for the installer.

Watch-outs
- A large deposit asked for before anyone has surveyed your roof.
- Pressure to sign today, or a discount that expires this week.
- No panel, inverter or battery brand named.
- A price far below the community median with no clear reason.
- Extras such as a gateway, changeover switch or scaffolding that appear only after you sign.
