    Sent my DD mandate back to them (88p via Royal Mail) to Dublin. I called up to check they got it about a week later when their systems were back up and running. They got it ok.

    Now today I can see the DD appearing on my online banking list of DD's ready for the first bill; I am expecting the "meter man" to call towards the end of this month. When the first bill comes through the post I have to call back to get it added to the online account for which I signed up then all others will come through online with an email notification.

    So far no major issues, I call their 0845 number from work so no issues there for me.


    do they do monthly or quarterly bill ?

    Quarterly. The meter man calls to read meter (or leaves card) then EI send you the bill and DD payment is taken for the whole amount. No monthly DD estimates etc. Just like the way Power NI do it.

    Has anyone heard any more information about whether Electric Ireland are planning on increasing their prices in N.Ireland as well as the Republic? I am planning on switching to them but have been holding off until there has been news of their plans

    Called up Electric Ireland to switch. I have the powershift keypad payg but EI do not supply this type of meter to Northern Ireland !!!! So I'll be sticking with Budget Energy :-(
