What's the unit rate?

The unit rate is how much you'll pay per kilowatt hour (kWh) used. A kilowatt hour is the unit used to measure energy use.

Meter types explained

Your meter type is assigned to your property so you can't change it.

Standing charges are a combination of the fixed charges associated with providing electricity and gas network services and a share of the supply costs in servicing your account. They may vary by supplier.

Urban or rural?

Urban or rural is determined by the location of your property and is assigned by ESB Networks. Rural customers pay a higher standing charge as it costs more to supply electricity to properties further away from the network.

24 Hour or Nightsaver?

If you're on 24 Hour you pay the same price for electricity no matter what time of day it is.
If you're on Nightsaver you pay two different prices for electricity - higher during the day and lower at night. You'll also have a Day/Night meter - this can either have two rows of numbers or a digital display.

Still not sure?

You can also find your connection type on any of your old bills under 'Profile'.
