Bord Gais To Rival ESB.
Updated : Feb 18, 2009
Bord Gais is to rival ESB in the race to supply cheaper electricity to all residential homes, with a guarantee to customers that its prices will be at least 10% lower than the ESB for the next three years.
From 12pm today, any ESB customer will be able to switch over and get their electricity from Bord Gáis by either phoning the company or going online. Bord Gais hopes to expand its customer base to more than 1million people in 3 years.
The double digit guarantee is due to remain in place, no matter what cuts the ESB introduces.
There will also be no penalty if a customer wants to switch back to the ESB. Bord Gáis Chief Executive John Mullins said â€it would be straight-forward for ESB customers to switch to our company, and this would be open to all 1.8million homes that use electricity."
