Microgeneration
If you generate surplus electricity, you can earn €0.185 credit per kWh. Subject to change. Payments are made four times a year and will be paid as a credit on your electricity bill. VAT on your microgeneration payment will be accounted for by Bord Gáis Energy. For more information visit our Microgeneration page or our help section.
Estimated Annual Bill (EAB)
The Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) requires all electricity and gas suppliers to set out an “Estimated Annual Bill” figure for each of their offers. This figure indicates an estimated annual bill for that particular offer. It is based on CRU published average annual consumption figures and suppliers then apply their own price plans to calculate the EAB.
