Below, you’ll find a detailed breakdown of your results.
These results will show you more information about your current energy usage, the carbon emissions associated with this, and how much different electricity plans could cost you with your current habits. If you want to find out more about what the results mean, click on the relevant section to the right.
Please note that calculations do not include solar payback / export data at this stage.
Here’s what you can expect to see in your results:
Your Estimated Annual Bill and Available Electricity Plans This section of your results shows how much the selected electricity plan is likely to cost you, based on the information you have provided. You can select from the different available plans to compare prices and your results will update automatically.
Disclaimer:
If a customer decides to switch suppliers before the end of their contract, they may incur an exit fee. Additionally, if the customer received an upfront cashback offer, a clawback may apply. Please be advised that switching suppliers mid-contract could lead to charges that may outweigh any potential tariff cost savings for the remaining contract period. We encourage customers to carefully review their contract terms and consider these potential costs before making any changes to their supplier arrangement.
Modify your Electricity Usage The time of day that you use electricity at home affects how much your bill will be when you have a smart electricity plan.
The Energy Calculator can estimate your electricity bill based on your previous electricity usage as recorded by your smart meter and uploaded by you. You can use the sliders in this section to change the amount of electricity used at different times of the day, and your results will update automatically to show how this could affect your estimated annual electricity bill.
Your Electricity Usage This section contains 2 graphs outlining the electricity usage for your household, based on the information you have provided:
A graph showing the aggregate electricity usage in your household. You can set this to show your aggregate hourly or aggregate monthly usage in kilowatt-hour, otherwise known as a kWh.
A graph showing the aggregate hourly cost of electricity for your household, based on the currently selected plan and the data you have uploaded.
Your Carbon Consumption This section shows you how much CO2 emissions are associated with your specific pattern of energy usage, based on the data you have provided. Depending on the day and time you use electricity, there may be more or less renewable energy available on the national grid for use. By using more electricity at times when renewable energy is more plentiful (e.g. when there are strong winds or more sunshine), the associated CO2 of your consumption is reduced.
These results are based on the times you use electricity from the data you have provided and information from Eirgrid on the CO2 intensity of electricity available at those times.
Interactive Rate Slider Explained
The time of day that you use electricity at home affects how much your bill will be when you have a smart tariff. The energy calculator estimates your bill based on your previous electricity usage as recorded by your smart meter. You can use these sliders to change the percentage of electricity used at different times of the day, and the results will update to show how this would affect your bill.
Your Electricity Consumption
This is an estimate of what your annual electricity bill would be based on your current tariff. This figure is calculated using the information you provided through our calculator form.
A Kilowatt-hour or kWh is the standard unit of electricity used by energy companies to measure how much to charge a household for electricity used.
A Kilowatt-hour is the equivalent of 1,000 Watts of electricity used by an appliance in one hour – for example, using a 100-Watt light bulb for 10 hours is equal to 1kWh of energy.
You can find out more about how much energy different appliances use on the SEAI website here.

A kilogram (Kg) of CO2 is a way to measure the amount of carbon dioxide gas. It’s like saying you have an amount of gas that weighs about as much as a litre of water. This measure helps us understand how much pollution is created from activities like using electricity.
