I recently renewed with Energia.
They offered 40% off the 28.11 cent standard rate, so an effective price of 16.87 cent.
That was not the cheapest, but wasn't too bad, so I stuck with them to avoid the hassle of switching.
Please note all elec and gas rates have increased numerous times during 2021.
Commercial rates are now higher than domestic rates. Ours went from 17 cent to 34 cent. An increase of over €100k a year. That's a serious hit for an SME. We can't go moaning to the government or block traffic looking for handouts.
Yep, that was the cheapest price.Is it not possible for commercial bodies to shop around in the same way as domestic customers do?
Yep, that was the cheapest price.
Until 18 months ago commercial rates were lower.
I think it's down to market forces and possibly a fear of bad PR from domestic consumers which could lead to price controls. Real businesses in the SME sector are too busy working to moan and cause problems so they are an easy target.Is that increase purely due to market forces or might the Regulator have stuck his nose into things to help domestic consumers while penalising the commercial sector?
