This week, CRU staff joined @ESBNetworks to mark the installation of over 2 million smart meters across Ireland.
The smart meter programme gives customers access to more information about their consumption, either through supplier platforms or through ESB Networks online account
ALT There is an image of CRU and ESB staff holding a sign that says two million smart meters.
Customers can use the information that smart meters provide to understand and reduce their electricity use. They can also choose a suitable smart meter tariff from their supplier, allowing customers more control over electricity costs. Learn more here: bit.ly/3K29SsE
The CRU has awarded accreditation to the price comparison website, Energy Switch under the Accreditation Framework for Price Comparison Websites. Learn more: bit.ly/42882ww

Active customers who switched to the best available discount tariff or renegotiated every year for the last 4 years could have saved nearly €1,700 on electricity and €740 on gas
This brings the number of CRU accredited price comparison websites to four, and joins @bonkers_ie @Switcher_ie and @powertoswitchIE to ensure a wider range of options for customers, when comparing supplier offers to either switch supplier or renegotiate.
