Electric Ireland

Bored gas, putting it up.

Electric Ireland.

One of them sneezes and the rest of them go, we're all going to do it

here.

But I was looking this morning and, and there is a website called kilowatt.ie, nothing to do with us, and he's tracking w- the whole- the retail price to your home, but he's also tracking what they're paying for feedback.

Now, the three main providers, which are Bord Gáis, Electric Ireland, and Energia, are paying what we call a static rate at the moment, but that's not sustainable.

So because they're paying more than they would be on the wholesale market for electricity.

Right.

If you don't have a h- what we call a hybrid inverter, you can't control what goes back to the grid, and then you could get into this situation in years to come where you get this negative, you get a bill for sending power back to the grid.

But then the other side of the coin is also true.

If we were talking about Energy and Electric Ireland, they are giving a static rate.

Pinergy and UNow have what's called a dynamic rate now for what we feed into the grid, and the other day they were paying 29 cent, uh, uh, f- in the morning and in the evenings time when there was a shortage.

It says it was due to the impact storm Éowyn had on its business last year.

Uh, ESB says its customer solutions business, which includes its retail brands like Electric Ireland, uh, saw its net profits fall in the period.

Uh, its energy trading division had its profits going up.

Uh, and this of course, bear in mind, would all be before the, the recent price increase, uh, from Electric Ireland actually kicked in for customers.

Yes, energy price increases everywhere that we look.

Okay, let's turn to The Plowing.

If you want to reduce it down to X, Y, and Z.

Or do you help with offsetting? what, or all of those things, what do you do? Because the emissions are the emissions, right? Unless you, I mean, there's ways you can get around it, but what exactly would you do for me, one of my campaigns, if I wanted to do it for, say, Electric Ireland, because we're looking at it for Electric Ireland.

How could you help

me? Okay, let me start from the top.

And, and this is the seventh energy company to increase prices.

We've seen Electric Ireland, we've seen UNo Energy, we've seen, um, uh, U- Electric Ireland is a big one.

Um, Flow Gas, Pinergy.

They, they've all gone already.

There's no difference in the quality of the supply.

I've never once in my life heard somebody saying, "Do you know what? The Electric Ireland electricity is great, but the Bord Gáis electricity is terrible." It just doesn't happen, so it's, it's exactly the same product.

Same product, yes.

And an awful lot of people think, "Oh, I just couldn't be bothered.

There's no difference in the quality of the electricity.

I've never in my life heard someone say, you know, the electricity from Electric Ireland is great, but the electricity from Borgosch, it's terrible.

And again, another way, another place where we always choose convenience is mobile phones, right? Now...

The way mobile phone companies operate, right, they have this system whereby they offer you a free.
