Oh wow that's good to know. I was on the flat rate smart meter plan and I am coming off it next month onto their Value reward plan but I can't find the info about it on their website anywhere so I have put in a request to them for info.thats correct
So if you have a smart meter, and you are on a smart plan that has a flat rate unit fee for gas and leccy - if you move onto a smartER plan with peak and off peak times you can't move back onto the smart meter flat rate fee plan?

Humm I have no idea that was the plan mentioned on their email.The Value reward plan is one of their ordinary meter plans so you cannot move back from a smart meter plan to it.
BG and EI both charge €370 annual standing charge currently which is over €80 more than the others. This may change but something to be aware of in your calculations.Bord Gais would appear to have a good 39% discount for non-smart plans at moment

Hi all,
I am on a smart meter plan with electric Ireland called home saver plus. I didn't realise I was on a smart meter plan and never knew I couldn't switch from a smart meter plan when I signed up. Is there anything I can do?
Did you get moved to the valuereward price plan and is this a smartmeter plan? I got the same email!Humm I have no idea that was the plan mentioned on their email.
'Thank you for being a customer of Electric Ireland.
We are writing to inform you that your current Electricity fixed term contract will expire on 07/09/2022. Now and in the future we're here for you.
How your bill is calculated:
Below is a quick rundown of the charges you are currently paying (excl. VAT @13.5%):
Energy Unit Rate: 19.09 c/kWh
Annual Standing Charge: 249.59 €/annum
On average consumers use 4200 kWh per year. If you use this average amount we estimate that the annual bill cost for your current price plan would be €1251.96 inclusive of all charges. However, your actual annual bill cost is unlikely to be the same as the average and will depend on how much energy you actually use.

At the end of your current fixed term contract, you will move to our ValueReward price plan, with ongoing savings for direct debit and online billing and no contract. You will continue to enjoy the savings this year, next year and every year. For an average customer, we estimate that the annual cost for your new price plan would be €1504.09 inclusive of all charges'
Did you get moved to the valuereward price plan and is this a smartmeter plan?
Thanks, when I phoned he told me the plan I'm on now is their basic smart meter plan but with a 24 hour rates and that I couldn't move to a standard meter plan. I think I will wait until the move me to the new plan and then try to switchI used to be on the Value Reward plan and as far as I can recall it is not a smart meter plan. The smart meter plans are generally called Home Electric+ - see here.
