Microgeneration is the process of producing your own electricity at home, typically using renewable sources such as solar panels. If you generate excess electricity, you may be eligible to receive credit for exporting energy back to the grid. These payments are usually applied as a credit on your electricity bill and can help reduce overall energy costs.
FAQs About energy rates Ireland:
Night and peak electricity times depend on the type of meter you have.
If you have a Smart meter, it automatically adjusts for daylight savings. Your night rate runs from 11pm to 8am all year round.
If you have an MCC02 meter, it doesn’t adjust for daylight savings. So:
- From late March to late October, night rate is from 12am to 9am
- From late October to late March, it goes back to 11pm to 8am
If you have an MCC12 meter, your peak time is between 5pm to 7pm.
Yes, Energia offers different tariffs for day/night meters. We provide specific plans such as the Smart Day/Night tariff, which features two time bands with cheaper night rates, allowing customers to save by using electricity during off-peak hours.
A unit rate is the cost per kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity or gas you use. It’s the main variable cost on your energy bill.
A standing charge is a fixed daily cost for maintaining your connection to the energy network, regardless of usage.
Smart tariffs use time-based pricing (day, night, peak), while standard tariffs use either a single 24-hour rate or a day/night structure.
