ESB to offer thousands of €30 vouchers to promote cutting electricity use at peak times 

In the initial pilot period, to run from October to December, customers will be given personalised insights and real-time interventions to try and change their behaviour around energy consumption.

ESB Networks is planning to give thousands of €30 vouchers to customers to incentivise the cutting of electricity usage at peak times.

As the country looks to avoid blackouts and outages this winter, the utility wants to give vouchers to some 60,000 customers who participate in the scheme. That may be doubled to 120,000 gift cards “depending on the uptake and success of the scheme”.
