Make the most of your smart meter with Bord Gáis Energy
What is a smart meter?
Smart meters are being rolled out by ESB Networks in homes and businesses across Ireland. They are the next generation of digital electricity meters that are replacing traditional meters across the country.
When your smart meter is installed, you will have access to more detailed information about your energy usage and Bord Gáis Energy can provide you with a greater choice of smart plans tariffs to suit your lifestyle.
The smart meter roll has started in parts of Dublin, Cork, Laois, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow and it will continue on a phased area by area basis, installing 500,000 meters a year, until 2024.

From 1 March 2021, householders who have a smart meter installed, can choose one of many smart plans available through Bord Gáis Energy. Depending on the smart plan you choose, energy costs can vary at different times/days of the week, giving you more control over how and when you use your energy.
