They might give the suppliers who offer them commission a higher profile in the results, but the comparison sites that are regulated must provide details of all suppliers. You may need to select an option to show all plans including ones not available for direct sign-up via that site though.I don't use comparison sites because, in my opinion, they advertise the options that give them a higher commission.
Ideally, yes.You really need a years data off a smart meter to see exactly what plan is best.
Not if you use http://www.energypal.ie/ as mentioned by @Sue Ellen above.It’s a minefield to navigate
He does, under the 'Contact' tab, he has a 'Buy me a coffee' link on the right. That's a donation platform.or even (as far as I could tell) provide a donation button.
Very much agree with this observation, energypal is great but will only recommend a plan based on your usage history and not what would be a cheaper plan if you opted to change your usage habitsMy energy pal is excellent, we very much tailor our usage to our plan and it gave us our plan back as the best one.
That's a very good idea for an enhancement to that site. I did a similar exercise in Excel recently, pulling the results from EnergyPal and shifting some consumption around to see what the effect would be.but will only recommend a plan based on your usage history and not what would be a cheaper plan if you opted to change your usage habits
The first year we went for the free electricity on Sunday
I moved from a time of use plan (night, day and peak rates) to a 24 hour plan a few weeks ago.Be aware that once you move to a smart plan, you will not be allowed to move back.

Yes, but the point being that you can still avail of the old metering style of either day/night or 24 hour rate while being on a smart plan.I just DuckDuckGo'd that! and it appears they are both smart plans?

Yeah, I think some of the issue at the start was the limited smart plan offerings, I don't believe there were flat 24 hour rates available back then. The regulator has since increased the number of smart plans the providers can offer so that has given them a little more flexibility.So the not being able to switch back is more or less a network configuration thing - it won't affect your billing because you can still get an old style plan.
Thanks @gort_gráinneog - I must've missed that before.He does, under the 'Contact' tab, he has a 'Buy me a coffee' link on the right. That's a donation platform.
