Be careful with Flogas. In my experience their customer service is incompetent and dysfunctional and some of their internal systems seem to have partially collapsed. I left in late June and have since received over 20 separate gas & electricity bills, each "updating" the previous one. Today they told me that refunding the closing balance on my would take at least another 8 weeks.
Energia have announced price increase of 10.9% on electricity from 9/10/'25

Outlook for energy prices 'reasonably positive' - ESB
The outlook for energy prices "looks reasonably positive," according to the Chief Financial Officer of the ESB Group.
I was just on to Bord Gais about something else. Enquired about changing supplier. I'm with Bord Gais since February. He explained that because of price rise on Oct 12th, existing customers will not be charged exit fee. If they are charged by mistake, don't worry, just ring up and they will send the fee back.

Thanks for that, good to know, will keep an eye on final bill
I never had any major issues with flogas but their website is poor for information. Eg They announced a price rise of 7% to their standard variable electricity. Why not list the old and new unit rates? Must generate lots of queries to their support unnecessarily.
@ClubMan ring BG and they will give back exit fee as you switched before Oct 12th. (If they take at all).
Thanks a lot @ACER10 - I wasn't aware of that and will check it out.
Flogas have a new fixed price plan up for dual fuel, 12 month contract, for new customers only.
Unit prices look competitive, standing charges a little higher than other suppliers.
These are the rates inc. vat for standard meter. There is a smart meter version also.
Electricity Unit Rate = 24.09c
Electricity Standing Charge Urban = €275
Electricity Standing Charge Rural = €334
Gas Unit Rate = 7.41c
Gas Standing Charge = €151

Does anyone know what defines a 'new customer'?
I unfortunately switched to Energia just before the price increase was announced from Electric Ireland as my 30% discount contract was up, could I switch back to avail of the 30% discount or would I no longer be considered a new customer?

Electric Ireland haven't increased prices.
Electric Ireland gas prices fall, no rise in electricity
Electric Ireland is to decrease gas prices for 140,000 customers by 4% from the beginning of November, while there will be no increase for the company's 1.1 million electricity customers ahead of the winter.

I'm currently with Energia on the Smart Data Plan 33% discount with following rates
Day.345 Night .184 and Peak .361. Std charge 75c
With the discount applied it comes to Day 23.12, Night 12.38 and Peak 24.23c
Bonkers comparison tool is giving me savings of €900 if I switched to Electric Ireland Home Electric and SST saver 30% however when I look at the rates with Electric Ireland with Vat included and discount applied it's the following
Day 25.91
Night 13.62
Peak 27c
STD Charge 87c
I just don't see how I'd have annual savings of €900 given that the Energia rates seem better value. I must be missing something. My annual bill would be €3600, rural and have a smart metre.

Try www.energypal.ie instead. It's more accurate than Bonkers in my experience.
Second energy supplier to freeze prices as over a million households face higher bills this winter
A second energy supplier has announced a price freeze on gas and electricity prices for the winter months.
m.independent.ie
my guess is the "saving" is off the standard rates.
Energia price hike applies from 9th Oct. My net rate will go as follows 24.82 to 27.8 day, 13.29 to 15.28 night, 26.02 to 31.22 peak
Standing charge jumps to 337 from 314 (per year)
Without discount the cost per year on my use based on new rates will be circa €1850
With discount its about €1330
Same use with Electric Ireland on their current discount would be €1250 - so "€600 saving", but off the non discounted energia rate. About €80 off the energia discounted rate (34% axa)

I had forgotten to take into account the impending price hike from Energia. It probably makes sense for me to switch to EI so with the upcoming price hike. I'll give energypal a look too for comparisons. Thanks for the replies.
