What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Commission for Regulation of Utilities approved the use of independent price comparison sites. Over the past six years, ESB Networks has installed more than two million smart meters in homes, farms, and businesses across Ireland. These meters allow users to access their energy usage data through an ESB Networks online account, which can then be uploaded to approved comparison sites to help consumers find the best energy tariff.
