Bord gais microgeneration

I said in a few other threads that their T&C's are worded in very murky statements with no clarity as to where we stand. It is a joke how they get away with it but this is Ireland after all. Wake up CRU.

Only problem there is Bord Gais had the best rates I could get when renewing 2 weeks ago. 40% off standard rates and with the backward running meter I don't want to cause to much sh1te with them until it has to be changed. I envisage a fight with them at some stage though about deemed FIT and who is eligible. With the money being thrown around by the Government I won't have to dip into my own pocket for a long time though for electricity bills.

I think its just under 29c .2885 or something like that before vat. They contacted me to offer me the same discount I was on from last year 40%, but seem to be offering people different discounts and some nothing at all.

I have a smart meter and signed up to the Bord Gais smart meter EV tariff as it was the best discount I could get. I have 1 EV with a 2nd on the way, I also have lots of other appliances I can time for the cheap rate so it made sense.

What really frustrates me is that they will only pay FIT after 12 months on the tariff. It's a complete copout!

I'm 2 months into the contract so no hope of changing. I had an awful time with Energia with what was promised by the retention team in September. It will be a while before I can go back to them unless they have an offer that's just too good to refuse.

Pinergy are putting the rates up from January.

I'm on the BG EV tariff also and have been looking at Pinergy. Will see what Bord Gais offer when my renewal is up in Feb.

I'm not too impressed with their payment terms.

I've worked it out and the extra fit alone would pay for the 50 early exit fee with how much I exported.

Do Pinergy pay it out on a monthly basis?

Has anybody been paid FIT at any stage from BG yet?

I posted the below in the Feed in Tariff thread after seeing people had the microgeneration section on their bills now but I don't and spent the morning on to idiots who haven't a clue what's going on.

"It would appear after an hour of talking to an idiot it's because I have not requested a smart meter off ESBN. I would imagine Bord Gais are going to use that to avoid paying certain people. I don't really care due to the old backwards meter, so will be getting full credit for export if any.

I just don't know why it's up to the customer to chase something ESBN were notified about with the NC6 and are aware of who has what meters. I will be leaving it there for now but will get a sudden dose of covid if ESBN turn up with a meter anytime soon."

That was the reps take on it but to be fair they hadn't a clue. Had no idea about deemed export and kept having to talk to another member of the team when asked anything off the norm. I didn't push to hard because they started saying they would get in touch with ESBN to get the meter changed to a smart meter.

I told them not to as I was ringing them next and after that the CRU but that is a waste of time going that route by the way others have been palmed off by the CRU when complaining about B/G terms & conditions on the microgeneration scheme. I also don't want to draw to much attention to my meter!

Did anyone get anything paid out yet? I just received my bill from March and not a cent on it.

It's over a year since my first export, I've agreed to their terms and conditions and have a smart-meter since 2021. I ideally don't want to wait until May now to get paid out.

Any luck getting paid the FIT?

I just got my lastest bill, I am 6 months with them and as per the site notice but still nothing.

Ex customer of BG. Had complaint with them and after much chasing got my payment for the months owed this week

They paid me this bill. Electric Ireland who i was with last year havent paid a penny

I think they are hoping people will forget about it. We kept at them and they paid it. I dont think they have any intention pf paying it to people that dont hassle them for it.
