Gas
Every gas plan in Ireland, and what it actually costs.
51 plans from 7 suppliers, re-checked against each supplier’s own price page (last checked 6 August). At typical usage the gap between cheapest and dearest is about €502 a year.
Only 8 of these are sold as gas on their own. The rest are the gas half of a dual-fuel plan, so you can only take one by moving your electricity too — which may still be the cheapest thing you can do, and is worth checking rather than assuming either way.
The cheapest unit rate is rarely the cheapest bill. Standing charges alone vary by about €39 a year between suppliers, every discount below applies to the unit rate and not the standing charge, and every one runs for twelve months and then stops.

How these figures are worked out
The same way we’d work out yours: the selected usage against each plan’s real unit rate, standing charge, carbon tax and discount, over that plan’s own contract term rather than a fixed period. Gas has no day or night rates — unlike electricity, when you use it makes no difference to what it costs.
Prices are new-customer rates, which is what every comparison site quotes. If you’re already with a supplier that price usually isn’t open to you — but it’s the number to quote when you ring them. Discounts assume you pay by direct debit with online billing, which nearly all of them require.
We don’t take commission from suppliers and there are no affiliate links on this page. Prices come from each supplier’s own published rates. Electricity prices · All suppliers
