Hi

We have a two bedroomed apartment on 3.3kw. If we return home we leave fridge freezer on at costs €19 approx per month. I can have air conditioning, tv, sky box, lamps, oven, kettle, wax burner and two cooker rings on before electric trips (did this two nights ago so able to tell exactly what was on lol). It’s just a matter of switching one thing off, resetting electric and all sorted.

Good luck and hope this helps

I too get an 18% discount but I think it's conditional on you having taken the insurance.  They just about cancel each other out.

Read a Iberdrola add recently 20% and as for insurance, something is better than nothing.

It is not the electricity that is expensive, it is the add-on charges re service, IVA, etc.
