WeSwitchU Helps Irish Farmers Reduce Energy Costs
As featured on That’s Farming
A digital platform is helping Irish farmers with electricity and gas accounts switch energy provider and potentially save hundreds of euro each year.
WeSwitchU supports both farmers and residential customers by making it easier to engage with the energy market, reduce electricity bills, and choose tariffs that better suit how energy is actually used.
Founder and CEO Brendan Halpin explains that many farmers are unaware their farm electricity meter is often placed on a residential tariff, meaning they may not be on the most suitable or cost-effective plan.
“Many farmers don’t realise their farm meter is on a residential tariff, and switching energy supplier is one of the quickest and easiest ways to reduce energy costs,” Halpin said.
How WeSwitchU works for farmers
When a farmer signs up with WeSwitchU for Farmers, the platform reviews both the farm and household meters and switches to the best available deal each year.
This ensures farmers stay on competitive tariffs without needing to monitor contract end dates or compare suppliers themselves.
If you want to explore your options first, you can compare electricity tariffs based on your usage and see what savings may be available.
Reducing costs and improving efficiency
Farm businesses are under increasing pressure to manage rising costs and improve energy efficiency.
“Farmers are extremely busy, and the first step any farmer can take is to ensure the farm is on the best tariff and making full use of off-peak electricity,” Halpin said.
WeSwitchU allows farmers to switch supplier in a no-cost, hassle-free way, helping reduce bills while supporting better energy efficiency.
If you’re ready to take action, you can switch energy supplier now and let WeSwitchU manage the process for you.
