I have taken the plunge, I am now a Bord Gáis Electricity customer. I feel kinda sorry for Airtricity though. I didnt know that they were accepting residential customers since sometime last year, think it was October. Heads should roll in their Marketing department.
Anyways, I have signed up as a new customer for BG Electricity. But surprisingly, I havent ehard anything from them. They seem to have all of the communications options covered, they ask for your email address, mobile number, they are even on twitter (twitter.com/TheBigSwitchIRL) for Gods sake. But nothing from them since. Maybe they might tweet me? How about this for a novel idea, they could tweet your your electricity bill to save paper. Maybe not.
