How to change the name on your Electric Ireland account
Are you looking to transfer your electricity to a new owner? Transferring your utilities account to another person is only possible in exceptional circumstances.
If you want to transfer an energy account to another person because you are moving home and somebody else is taking over the bills, you can simply close the existing account and the new tenant can open a new account in their name.
There are a couple of ways to do this:
The new customer can open a new account in their name which will automatically close the current account in that property and issue that account holder's final bill. Any bills following that will be in the new account owner’s name.
The current account holder can close their account and then the new customer can open their own account here. We will issue a final bill to the customer that closed their account and any bills following that will be in the new account owner’s name.
