What is the Energy Engage Code?

An Energy Engage Code was launched in May 2014.

This is a voluntary code where all Irish energy suppliers have pledged to ensure that they will take a number of actions to ensure that customers in arrears and/or at risk of disconnection, remain connected to their energy supply.

In this context, Electric Ireland commits to:

• Never disconnect an engaging customer.
• Provide every opportunity to customers to avoid disconnection.
• Identify any of our customers at risk of disconnection and encourage them to talk to us as early as possible.
• Treat our customers as individuals, recognising that no two customers face the same circumstances.
• Offer a range of payment options to find the most appropriate payment option for a customer in arrears as well as arranging realistic payment plans.
• Always offer a customer in arrears Pay As You Go (PAYG) as an alternative to disconnection, where a network solution is available.
• Work with customer representatives and support agencies working on behalf of our customers, such as the Money Advice and Budgeting Service (MABS).
