Ich habe gerade eine E -Mail von Bord Gais erhalten, auf die wir vor ein paar Monaten gewechselt haben und uns wissen lassen, dass sie den Strom für Strom wandern (es ist bereits einer der höchsten in Europa), bedeutet diese Preisanzeige, dass ich ohne Strafe wechseln kann? Oder wie sind die Optionen?

„we’re sorry to share“ – what the eff is that? Is that how companies are addressing their customers now?
Check your contact. You’ll probably find that it’s a set term contract and penalty fees apply if you exit before the end of the term.
No
If you leave your contract early, you pay the break fee of €50 per fuel. The contract is for fixed percentage discount, the rate can vary
If you’re not in contract, you can leave with no penalty.
You’re in a contract and unfortunately it’s baked into the contracts now days that they can increase prices . I’m in the same boat having just signed up at the start of August.
You’ll be charged an exit fee as you’ll presumably still be within your minimum contract period should you change ’now‘. It’s the discount percentage that your contract’s for, not a particular unit fee, so you’ll still get your 10% discount or whatever applied regardless… so no, they’ve not broken their contract with you.
You’ll have to pay to break the contract and tbh once one raises their price theyll all follow, they do this all the time they let the first guy take all the heat and then they all sneak in behind
Screw this we need to start protesting. This is taking the absolute piss now.
We should all just stop paying it.
my contract ends in October. Looks like i have some work to be done to compare options
Ffs I was just going to join them from prepay power
The guy in comms trying to get the line about the cost of doing business in to show that they are just gangsters.
I guess they are all going to put the prices up. So I’d wait another little while
Time to power the country on Guinness farts
Yes, you can. Read the small print at the bottom of the email:
„As a result of this price change, you’ve the right to terminate your contract within the next 30 days. Your contract will continue if we don’t hear from you within this period.“
Who is getting a 12% pay rise where these price hikes make sense. It is getting to the point that I only pay bills and nothing else.
[removed]
Price increases just as it starts to get nippy. *Arseholes*
I mean Energia are also up 10% and 12% in electricity so all of the big companies are doing it. Theres no escape from these increases sadly
These cheeky cunts rang me yesterday to lock me in for another 12 months. They told me that the tariff was changing but the standing charge hadn’t. Then today they announced this.
Ring Yuno, great offers, it’ll take ten minutes.
We’re sorry to share our prices are going up right as summer is over and you’ll be using more gas
>“We’re sorry to share“
No. „We are sorry we are forcing you to share more of your hard earned money with us.“
Just switched from them
Well, I’m with electric ireland and according to recent news, it looks like so far its a good idea, since they announced that they won’t be raising prices so… [https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/0910/1532705-electric-ireland/](https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/0910/1532705-electric-ireland/)
12.1%, and I’ve just switched to them!
Why don’t all the people stopping wind farms just eff right off?
Get the lads and lady’s who organized the water charges protests involved. This is an absolute joke. Raising prices in the winter when they have had nothing but massive profits is going too far. Sick and tired of funding useless fecks because something something government says so. Esb is nearly entirely state owned time to put them to work for the public interest, they have the likes of electric Ireland as their supplier branch. Drop the price to force these private companies to actually compete and earn their ludicrous profits
You can switch, but as all the suppliers one by one raise prices at this time of year, and currently Bord Gais has the lowest unit rates when I checked yesterday, it’s doubtful you will do any better tbh.
