PV Feed In Tariff

I'll fill my batteries in 2 hours if I want as my inverter can charge at 120amps but 3 hours would give them an easier life.

Ah jaysis, you're back! Finished your probation? 😉

Unfortunately that rate isn't available on a smart meter, next best thing is the smart EV plan which has 4 hours as a low rate

They're doing a great job at bringing value to the electricity suppliers

They always annoy me because in theory they should be used to even out grid consumption and help both customers and suppliers save money

The reality is that they've just turned into a money grab opportunity for suppliers

Looks like my final EI bill of the year has come through and still no sign of FIT. Presume everyone else is in the same boat

I have got nothing from Electric Ireland. Havent heard anything either. I left them in September. They owe me a lot of money. Im thinking i may never see it.

With Bord Gais now and they did tell me they would be paying from January when i called them last month. But ohers have said they have heard different too, so not impressed with either of them tbh.

There should be an interest penalty for them.

I was with Bord Gais and had to deal with them and ESBN to get a night meter installed. To be clear, I already had a night meter, those digital ones can do both

After going back and forth with both on them and getting told constantly changing stories I was left astonished that our power grid functions as well as it does

I had to call Electric Ireland as they owed me €147 due to an estimated bill just before I left them. It was triple what my bill normally is, I'd love to know where they pulled those figures from. 6 weeks after closing the account, no sign of the money coming back. If I am due any FIT I'll likely need to call them.

Energia already took it off the first bill, don't see why Electric Ireland couldn't do that off my closing bill otherwise they're just sitting on data.

Did you switch provider though? Or are you still with Bord Gais and got paid FIT because there are people with complaints with both them and the regulator getting nowhere just like myself.

I switched in Sep to Energia.

BG back paid me in full for the deemed export from Feb-Sep. They initially told me I wouldn't be paid until Mar 2023 so I opened a complaint and a nice lady called me and said the "money is in the post". It hit my bank account a few days later.

I had my smart meter replaced with a day/night meter a few months back. Is it correct that if I install solar that I will not get the deemed export from bord gais as I am eligible for a smart meter? Thanks.

As a matter of interest - I thought all 24 hour and Day/Night meter users were being moved to Smart meters?

Curious about this as a Day/Night meter user who would rather not move to Smart any time soon!

Reply from SSE this morning on my request for back payment as I left them for BG.

Unfortunately, the first installment of CEG payments have not been uploaded to customer accounts yet. The first credit payment will cover export data from July 2022 to September 2022. As your Smart Meter was installed on 14/07/22, this will be the starting date for your export data. We are endeavouring to make the first credit payment to customers by the end of this year, with follow up payments for any remaining export data proceeding in the following May and November (where applicable). We apologise for the delay and thank you for your patience,

On a separate note has anyone not got their government credit yet? BG say SSE should give it to me as I was with them until 29th October. SSE say I left them on the 21st. The 27th was the day the government credit was applied to all accounts apparently.

Energia I have to say are on the ball. CEG/FIT payments on the bill each 2months, and the government credit in on the 1st Nov or before!
