UCD Energy Calculator

Use Your Smart Meter Data to Save on Your Energy Bills
A price comparison that is specific to your energy usage habits

Here’s how it works

Enter your current electricity plan and upload your smart meter data for a price comparison

Enter your energy details

You can find details of your current plan on your electricity bill. If you have a smart meter, you can download a copy of your data from ESB Networks.

Answer a short energy survey

Answering the survey will help UCD and Irish researchers to better understand domestic energy use in Ireland, and how we can plan for and work towards Net Zero.

Compare prices across the market

The energy calculator will use the data from your smart meter to work out how much different smart electricity plans might cost you, based on your current energy use.
