Smart meters
Smart meters use digital technology to provide you with a range of benefits. With a smart meter, you can view details of your electricity usage through your ESB Networks online account. This information can help you manage and understand your electricity usage throughout the day.
You can also use the consumption data from your ESB Networks Online Account on price comparison websites helping you choose the best tariffs for your home.
The meter rollout is continuing and if you do not already have a smart meter, you can request one here by using the Smart Meter Sign Up Form.

Smart Meter Benefits
Your ESB Networks Online Account
With an account, you can access your energy usage data. This provides insights into how you are using electricity in your home, and you can even upload the usage data to price comparison websites so that you get accurate advice on which is the best tariff for you.
Smart tariffs for cost savings
Smart meters are enabling electricity supply companies to offer new smarter energy products and services. These services give more choice and allow you to move some of your consumption to times of the day when electricity is cheaper.
Begin Your Low Carbon Journey
The upgrade to a smart meter also allows you to receive payment for any excess electricity you sell to the grid from solar panels. That’s because a smart meter can record what you send onto the grid and enables you to be paid.
A greener, more sustainable Ireland
Every smart meter helps us all become more energy efficient and environmentally friendly as we work towards a carbon cleaner electric future. Smart meters will help to facilitate the development of Ireland’s growing renewable generation, smart grids and the electrification of transport and heat.
Potential for reducing energy usage
Smart metering technology can help us all to manage how and when electricity is being used in Ireland, so that the right amount is produced at the right time, from the right sources. This will help us lower our carbon emissions and reduce costs.
Faster, enhanced customer service
The upgrade to smart meters will allow ESB Networks to find faults quicker and manage the network more efficiently. It also enables you to switch electricity supplier and move premises more easily.
