PV Feed In Tariff

But the kWh tariffs are the business of the utility companies only. ESBN have no say over this at all. The mystery continuous...

Some suggesting on Facebook they spoke to energia and their rate is going to be 7c from August for fit.

Any word from bord gais on their rate by anyone? I left them start of June but in that time left them with just over 1000kwh since mid February when the law came in regarding fit. I will be following up with them for payment for all exported up to the date I left

So first they said anyone without a smart meter would get the deemed export payment, then they said it was up to ESB to provide the deemed export, now the only people who are eligible for the deemed export (which apparently is back to them now, not ESB) are those who are "ineligible for a smart meter".

I’d say the only reason to be ineligible for a smart meter right now is if you are on a d/n tariff which would mean you’d get the deemed export (their 3/6 post)

It will all be short lived anyway, we are all to have them by 2025 which isn’t really that far away… you won’t get fat on the FiT in the meantime! 🤑

Well that's the latest thing I've asked, what exactly defines an ineligible customer for a smart meter.

And if my current tariff expires, and I sign up to a new day/night one, does that mean I've had the chance to go smart and decided not to, hence I'm off the scheme?

Such an absolute mess.

What about people who have zero mobile network signal though? Where I live I can't get a signal from any provider unless I get on my roof! From what I see it's the 2g band being used so even that is impossible to get where I live. I expect some interesting times ahead with my provider but at least I have the old reversing meter so I will wait for a court order to replace that if need be.

Can we gather up the known FIT rates and update the main FAQ page? Would like to see the published info somewhere online at least. Reward the early adopters like

When I signed up to the first smart plan they put me on a basic plan for the first 30 days as it takes that for the initialisation of the smart meter. They told me if didn't have a specific signal level there would be no online access to usage and could not go on specific plans like cheap EV plan but just their basic smart plan (most expensive)

Yep pinergy day units are extremely high on smart plans - 36c but their ev rate from 2-5 am is great at 5c. Not suitable for majority unless good battery storage and good PV output

In those 3 hours you could get 9kWh into your powerwall with a ME3000SP (15kWh with a 5kW hybrid) and 20kWh into your car every day. If you do have fairly big PV and powerwall and not huge electricity consumption outside of these hours, that could be an option with the 13-14c FIT as long as that means your peak unit use is still minimal

Yep as Graeme said have 100amp charging or I wouldn't have took chance on this plan. That together with the couple KW a day in worst months of winter should see me through as our winter usage is roughly 12kw average a day. Compared to the 509 euro rural standing charge I was on with bord gais these are also just under 300 euro cheaper a year on their standing charge so could afford some small usage in winter and still be up compared to that but don't intend to use any day time units with them.

I'm with Bord Gais and my rural standing charge went from 69.03 c/day to 88.7 c/day in April and with the 9% vat on that it comes to €352.89 a year or am I missing something? My maths are not the best though!

I thought my maths were acting up! Might be best to state what plans people mean when quoting prices? Totally agree with the standing charge increase being a complete rip off, but what's new in Ireland.
