94% are missing out on energy discounts

A survey of over 9,000 households found just 6% are receiving electricity discounts of more than 10%, even though reductions of up to 30% are widely available.

The finding emerged in the wake of three of Ireland’s biggest electricity and gas retailers announcing upcoming price rises.

The study, published yesterday, is part of the Big Cost of Living Switch campaign to unlock group-discounted energy and insurance offers.
