Gas Supply in Ireland

Gas suppliers are responsible for delivering gas to households and businesses. Since being opened to competition in 2007, a number of new suppliers have entered Ireland gas retail market. The industry was fully deregulated for all customers in 2014, with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities directing efforts towards promoting competition in the market since then. Growing use of price comparison websites and increased switching rates have chipped away at the dominance of Ireland's energy giants, though the market remains highly concentrated with a handful of suppliers accounting for the majority of customers.

Firms in the industry purchase gas from the wholesale market and sell it to end users via the distribution network. The industry excludes firms that operate gas pipelines.
