Agri Electric – Energy Consultants, Brokered and Advisor for the Agri-sector
Cut Your Farm’s Energy Costs with Agri Electrical!
At Agri Electric, we help farmers take control of their energy bills through collective buying and ensuring they’re on the right type of energy contract for their unique enterprise needs. As we all know, a Dairy Farmer will have completely different energy needs from a Sheep farmer. Are you on the right contract for your needs? Worse still is the fact that many farms are still on residential energy plans—despite operating at commercial usage levels. This often means paying higher rates than necessary. By switching to a business energy contract, you could benefit from lower unit rates, tailored tariffs, and cost-saving features like peak/off-peak pricing that match the demands of farm operations. Reclassifying your farm as a business customer also opens the door to bulk usage discounts and more suitable billing options. In some cases, choosing paper billing can lead to additional savings—and it makes it easier to track usage for farm management and tax purposes. Agri Electric will review your current energy setup, assess your farm’s usage patterns, and handle the full switch to a business account. We’ll take care of the paperwork and make sure everything’s done right—so you can focus on the land, not the bills.

How Energy Companies Are Quietly Overcharging Ireland’s Dairy Farmers
Across Ireland, many dairy farmers are being taken advantage of by energy suppliers—often without even realizing it. Between early starts, herd management, and machinery upkeep, energy contracts are the last thing on a farmer’s mind. And energy companies know this. Rather than helping, some suppliers let contracts quietly expire, then roll farms onto default or “deemed” rates—charging 30% to 50% more than negotiated business rates. Others keep dairy farms on residential tariffs, even though these operations run high-powered equipment and have energy usage patterns that clearly qualify for business pricing. This means Irish dairy farmers are regularly being charged more than necessary, simply due to lack of oversight or transparency from energy providers. These extra costs add up—especially in a sector already squeezed by rising feed, fuel, and compliance costs. Worse still, these suppliers often don’t alert farmers when a contract ends or when a better rate is available. It’s a business model built on inaction—and farmers are paying the price.At Agri Electric, we’re here to level the playing field. We review your energy setup, identify if you’re on the wrong tariff, and handle the switch—no hassle, just savings. Send us your latest energy bill, and we’ll check if you’re being overcharged.
How Out-of-Contract Businesses in Ireland Are Overcharged on Energy Bills
Is your Contract Expired? -Then your Energy Company is stealing your Money!
Many farms across Ireland are unknowingly paying inflated energy rates—simply because they’ve fallen out of contract with their electricity supplier, or they are simply on a contract that is unsuitable for their needs. The Energy companies will not tell you because they do not want to. When a fixed-term contract ends and no new deal is signed, you’re automatically moved onto a “deemed” or “default” rate, which can be 30% to 50% higher than a standard business rate. These default rates are designed to penalise inaction—they cost more because suppliers charge a premium for customers without a formal agreement. For farmers, this can quietly add thousands of euros to annual energy costs. Often, farmers aren’t even aware their contract has expired. Suppliers rarely send reminders, and by the time you notice the spike in bills, it may have been months. Others delay renegotiating, assuming prices haven’t changed much—only to be caught out. Agri Electrical can stop this from happening. We’ll keep track of your contract end dates, review your energy rates regularly, and handle renewals or switches to ensure you’re always on the best available deal. Send us your latest energy bill today—we’ll check it for free and let you know if you’re overpaying.
