SSE Airtricity Budget Plan is a free service which allows you to spread your energy costs for the year across 12 monthly payments.

It works because in the summer you will use relatively small amounts of energy so your monthly payments will be higher than your actual usage. Since you’re paying more than what you’re using, you build up credit on your account.

On the other hand, during the winter you will use relatively large amounts of energy so your payments will be lower than your actual usage. During these months, your account will draw on the credit you built up during the summer.

SSE Airtricity Budget Plan gives you:

1. More control: Know at the start of each month what you need to pay
2. More visibility: Monthly Bills let you keep better track of your energy usage
3. No hassles: All payments will be made automatically by direct debit
4. Less worry: No more guesswork and no large winter payments
