We consider both equity and efficiency effects of a potential reform. A per unit surcharge is preferred unless costs increase considerably. This is not unlikely.

There are lessons here for expected changes to distribution (DUoS) & transmission (TUoS) charges

@ESRIDublin

[Niall Farrell @farrellniall]

New paper - @harryhumes_ and I consider how renewable energy subsidy costs should be recovered - a flat rate charge (as is the status quo under the Irish PSO) or as a surcharge on electricity consumption.

Some thoughts on Europe’s & Ireland’s geopolitical dilemmas

When I rang the new supplier to cancel, I received a further counter offer for additional cashback. First they offered an additional €50, and increased that to €100 when I was on the fence.

There are good savings to be had if they think you are about to move.

[Niall Farrell @farrellniall]

It pays to shop around and switch energy supplier.

My contract had lapsed by a few months with my current supplier. I switched to a competitor for a better rate. I received a counter offer from my old supplier, a lower rate back dated to the end of my contract and cashback

Reminds me of the Longford Cathedral when that was restored. Although it wasn't so much grime but the paint work

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Perhaps the most breathtaking feature is the cathedral’s newly luminous quality.

After being darkened by centuries of grime, the blanched stonework of the pillars and vaults now appear as they would have done in medieval times https://t.co/Vq44kdsWoT 👇

This paper has been a long time in the works. Many of the recommendations have featured in recent changes to the grid application process by @UtilityregCRU

[Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) @ESRIDublin]

Today, we have published a new research bulletin titled 'The impact of planning and regulatory delays for energy infrastructure'.

⚡ The research highlights how regulatory delays impact electricity prices, system emissions, and costs.

8/12 Large budget packages in recent years have put money back in people’s pockets. But they have taken it away by pushing up prices. By breaching its rule, the Government is estimated to add €1,000 to the cost of a typical household’s yearly outgoings.
