Export payments will be made based upon the surplus energy generated at your home. If you have a smart meter the actual export (metered export) to the grid will be measured and you’ll be paid accordingly. For more information on smart meters please visit our Smart Meter section. All other meters will estimate the export value (deemed export) and you’ll be paid accordingly.

* If you have refused or refuse the installation of a smart meter, then you will not be eligible for a deemed export profile (see below). If you have refused or refuse the installation of a smart meter and now want to avail of the scheme, you must request the installation of a smart meter. This can be done through your supplier or ESBN.
