- The dynamic tariff consists of three price components - standing charge, base unit rate (as shown above) and a dynamic unit rate. The dynamic unit rate changes every half hour. It’s linked to the day‑ahead electricity market, so prices can go up or down. See Day-ahead prices.
- There’s no Estimated Annual Bill (EAB) for this plan. That’s because day‑ahead market prices change every half hour, so there isn’t a fixed annual cost that can be accurately calculated upfront.
- There’s also no discount applied to the unit rate. With the Smart Dynamic tariff, you’re already getting direct access to wholesale electricity prices.
- Please note that this is a financially risky product as there is no certainty on the dynamic unit rate. Prices effective from 9 October.
- There is an annual PSO levy of €6.67 including VAT (€6.12 excluding VAT) from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027.
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.
