September 2025 - Energia Price Announcement

Energia is announcing a change to home energy prices for residential customers effective from 9^th October 2025.

While Energia has worked to minimise the impact on customers, these price changes are now unavoidable due to ongoing, substantial increases in electricity system operator and network charges.

These regulatory approved non-energy charges, which are applied to electricity suppliers, are required to recover the costs of ensuring security of supply, addressing network constraints and investing in the electricity grid. This expenditure is needed to ensure reliability, efficiency and decarbonisation of the electricity supply in Ireland.

Energia Price Changes (effective from 9^th October 2025)

• Energia Electricity customers will see a 10.9% increase to the average annual bill which equates to €3.94 per week 
• Energia Dual Fuel customers will see a 6% increase to the average annual bill which equates to €3.92 per week 
• Energia Smart Meter Electricity plan customers will see a 12.1% increase to the average annual bill which equates to €3.73 per week
• Energia Smart Meter Dual Fuel plan customers will see a 6.2% increase to the average annual bill which equates to €3.71 per week
• Energia’s clean export guarantee (CEG) payment rate will decrease from 20c/kWh to 18.5c/kWh effective 9^th October 2025. This export rate will apply to all eligible residential customers with registered microgeneration installations who generate an electricity surplus and export it back to the grid.
• Energia gas rates will remain unchanged.

Gary Ryan, Managing Director Customer Solutions at Energia said: “We are always reluctant to increase our prices, and we work hard to offer our customers the very best value possible. Over the last three years, we have absorbed several increases in system operator and network costs and have decreased our prices twice.

“This price change is directly linked to increasing system operator and network charges associated with addressing network constraints, maintaining system security, and investing in the grid which support the required broader enhancement of the electricity network and market operation across Ireland. Unfortunately, the scale of the cumulative system operator and network charges to date has had a significant impact on our current customer price structures, making this price change now unavoidable.

“While we naturally welcome such overall investment to support the development of the electricity network and ensure security of supply; it does increase costs for electricity suppliers and customers. As such, we would encourage the Government to further its direct exchequer investment in the network to not only enhance it but also offer electricity users pricing stability.

“We understand that some customers will experience difficulty and would encourage anyone experiencing such challenges to engage with us so we can continue to provide ongoing support. We partner with St Vincent de Paul, MABS, Alone, as well as other charities and urge customers to always contact us to find a solution”.
