Electric Ireland (Irish: Leictreachas Éireann) is an Irish utility company that supplies electricity, gas and related services to business and residential customers in Ireland. It is the supply division of the Electricity Supply Board, the state-owned former monopoly electricity company in Ireland. The company now operates in an open market, competing for the retail supply of gas and electricity to consumers. Electric Ireland also sells a variety of energy-related products and services including smart home technology, electric vehicle home chargers, solar PV panels, battery storage.
The business was known previously as ESB Customer Supply and ESB Independent Energy before 4 April 2011. Those brands were transitional; in January 2012, all references to ESB were dropped and it is simply known as Electric Ireland.
