    I presume at some stage you are going to be selling gas like the way Bord Gáis sell electricity. Have you any info on this?

    Hi Davy,

    We are currently examining all aspects of entry into the Gas market and a final decision is expected later this year.

    Many thanks
    Chris

    I presume this is a question of when rather than if?

    The ESB has had a licence for gas retail to end users for the last couple of years according to the CER.

    I think I read that some arm of the ESB already supply gas to a very small number of commercial customers. I would assume that since they are the largest buyers of gas in the country (for the power stations)that they should be getting a very good rate and I would agree it will be a matter of when...

    Yes.

    I should add that the "ESB" that I was referring to was "ESB CS" and not ESBI/ESBIE. (As they are a ringfenced entity they would need a separate licence anyway)

    Sounds like they're doing the clever thing, and waiting until after deregulation, so that the government cannot demand they overcharge the customers, to give a false edge to it's "competitors".
