MIC Reviews
Large business customers operating at full capacity require special 'Maximum Demand' meters installed to meet their high electricity demand on the grid.
A maximum demand meter measures electricity usage and alerts ESB Networks if it exceeds the supply capacity.
Large energy users are assigned a Maximum Import Capacity (MIC) in kilovolt-amps (kVA).
Setting the MIC correctly is crucial to avoid unnecessary costs. A high MIC may result in overpaying for capacity and a higher PSO levy, while a low MIC may lead to an Excess Capacity charge.
Electricity contracts
There are fixed and variable options available to large energy users.
A fixed contract for one to three years fixes the energy unit price, providing budgetary certainty and protection against shocks or increases in wholesale energy costs for businesses.
A flexible contract allows businesses to fix the energy unit price for part of the contract term and float on variable unit prices for the rest. This option is ideal for businesses that closely monitor energy prices and are willing to take on higher energy costs if the market goes against them.
Gas contracts
FVT (Fuel Variation Tariff) pricing structures apply to large energy users. These include commodity charge, fixed charge, site charge, shrinkage charge, carbon tax and VAT.
FVT customers pay a lower commodity charge but offset it with a fixed charge, site charge, and shrinkage charge. Setting the SPC correctly is important to avoid overpaying.
Customers can choose to fix commodity costs for each month or specific months of their contract term.
