Case Study Overview

Tallaght Medical Centre has three electricity meters and two gas meters that had rolled onto expensive out-of-contract rates following the expiry of its previous energy contracts.

The medical centre contacted Utilityfair to compare electricity and gas prices across all suppliers and understand the different contract options available for its five meters.

Following the review, Tallaght Medical Centre chose new 12-month fixed-price contracts for electricity and gas. This reduced annual energy costs by €11,910 while providing certainty over costs for the contract term.

Key Highlight: €11,910 annual savings across three electricity and two gas meters.

Customer Testimonial: Tallaght Medical Centre on Working With Utilityfair

"Sean took the time to go through our electricity and gas accounts and explain the different rates and options available. Everything was explained clearly, and we were given plenty of time to consider the options and ask any questions we had.

We never felt under any pressure to make a decision. Once we had decided what we wanted to do, Sean looked after the new contracts for us and made the whole process very straightforward.

We ended up saving €11,910 a year on our electricity and gas costs, which we were delighted with. We would definitely recommend Utilityfair and will use them again in the future."

The Challenge: Moving Five Energy Meters Off Expensive Out-of-Contract Rates

Tallaght Medical Centre’s previous electricity and gas contracts had expired, leaving all three electricity meters and two gas meters on expensive out-of-contract rates.

With five meters covering both electricity and gas, the medical centre needed to review both fuels rather than simply accepting new rates from its existing suppliers.

Tallaght Medical Centre asked Utilityfair to compare prices across all suppliers and explain the different contract options available before deciding how to proceed.

How Tallaght Medical Centre Worked with Utilityfair to Reduce Energy Costs

Sean carried out a detailed review of Tallaght Medical Centre’s three electricity and two gas accounts, looking at consumption, existing rates, meter details and annual costs. He then compared these costs with the electricity and gas prices available across all suppliers to identify the savings available.

The comparison was then discussed with Tallaght Medical Centre, with the different rates and contract options explained side-by-side and any questions answered. This gave the medical centre a clear view of the costs and savings while allowing them time to consider the options before making a decision.

The medical centre chose 12-month fixed-price contracts for both electricity and gas, reducing annual energy costs by €11,910. Sean then arranged the new contracts and looked after the process with the suppliers.

Results: €11,910 in Annual Energy Savings

Annual Energy Savings: Tallaght Medical Centre reduced annual electricity and gas costs by €11,910 across five meters.
Lower Electricity Rates: The electricity day rate was reduced by 17.31 c/kWh, with the night rate reduced by 8.07 c/kWh.
