FAQs

Why are Iberdrola customers moving to Electric Ireland?

If an energy supplier unexpectedly exits the market, the CRU has the power to take actions to ensure affected customers are guaranteed continuity of supply and their rights are fully protected. This is done through what is called a Supplier of Last Resort (SoLR) process. In this instance, the CRU has appointed Electric Ireland as the SoLR Iberdrola customers.

What happens to Iberdrola customers now?

Iberdrola electricity customers will be switched to Electric Ireland. During this switch, your energy supply will not be interrupted, and Electric Ireland will engage with all Iberdrola customers about their new tariff and provide information on what the next steps are.     

Customers will remain with Electric Ireland up until the September 1 as determined by the CRU. After this date you can switch supplier or choose to stay with Electric Ireland. Electric Ireland will write to you clearly highlighting these options and providing information.
