The Consumer Council Choosing or Switching Suppliers

Choosing or Switching Suppliers

Electricity

Historically, most of the electricity in Northern Ireland has been supplied by Northern Ireland Electricity as the public electricity supplier. However EU Directives now require the electricity market to be open to competition. As a result there are now five electricity suppliers for businesses in Northern Ireland.

By switching supplier, businesses may be able to negotiate a better contract on price and service. It doesn’t cost anything to switch supplier and the electricity supply won’t be disrupted in any way.
