How do I view and download my exported electricity information?

If you’re on a smart plan, you can download your Exported Electricity HDF file from your online account.

To download your exported electricity follow the steps:

  1. Sign in to your online account. If you don't have an online account, register here.
  2. On 'My accounts' page select the smart electricity account you want to download. 
  3. Click on the 'Energy exported' tab.
  4. Under 'Download historical data', click the Download button. Your export file will download as a CSV file. 
      

Your data will be based on a metered or deemed quantity depending on whether you have a smart meter installed. If metered data is not available, ESB Networks will send us deemed export quantities for your account. For more information on how deemed quantities are calculated, see What is Deemed Export Quantity?

If you believe the details in your exported electricity HDF are incorrect, please contact us.

Please note: 

  • The exported electricity HDF is a file you can download from your online account showing how much electricity you've exported to the grid over a given period. The HDF is displayed in daily intervals based on data that we get from the ESB.
  • It can take up to eight working days for ESB Networks to send us deemed export data.  
  • If your power is at powered off status, you cannot use your micro-generator to export electricity. Micro-generators have protective devices which, for safety purposes, switch the micro-generators off if the electricity supply is off or de-energised.
