Companies are offsetting rising wholesale costs by slashing the discounts offered for switching, from up to 40% to little more than 10%

According to the Commission for Energy Regulation , switching customers will be able to save little more than €300 by moving from one provider to another.

Electric Ireland said that it was currently offering a €150 welcome bonus to new customers which is paid in the form of energy credits on the bill plus a discount of up to 8.5 per cent on standard unit rates if they sign up to a direct debit and paperless billing. He said the company had reviewed its discounts recently, “having maintained them as high as possible and for longer than many competitors”.
