Changes to your PSO charge
The Public Service Obligation (PSO) is mandated by the Irish Government and approved by the European Commission. Due to unprecedented and sustained high wholesale electricity prices, the PSO fund requirement for PSO Year 2022/23 is negative (- €491.25 million). This will result in a payment to customers from 1 March to 30 September 2023.
For further information please visit: Public Service Obligation (PSO) | CRU.ie
The PSO payment rates for businesses from 1 March to 30 September 2023 are:
- PSO where MIC < 30kVA = €44.50 per month (ex VAT)
- PSO where MIC => 30 kVA = €5.40 per kVA per month (ex VAT)
Temporary Business Energy Support Scheme
The government has recently announced changes to the Temporary Business Energy Support Scheme (TBESS), which may be of benefit to you. The scheme is to help businesses who have seen significant increases in their energy costs compared to this time last year.

The scheme will run until May 2023. It's aimed at businesses whose average unit gas or electricity price has risen by over 30% compared with their average unit gas or electricity price in 2021.

Concerned about paying your bills?
We understand that these are difficult and uncertain times. If you’re worried about paying your bill, please call us on 01 611 01 92 so we can discuss your options and find a solution that works for you.
We can offer flexible payment options, including payment plans and scheduled payments.
Scheduled payments allow you to set up a recurring payment on a weekly or monthly basis, in addition to your existing payment method. For example, you can pay a specified amount per week towards your energy bills, to spread out your costs over time. This money will accumulate on your account and will be used towards your next bill. Regular payments of an amount you choose, at a time that suits you best, are applied to your credit or debit card.
You can set up a scheduled payment on your online account. To learn how to set up a scheduled payment, check out our video:
