Unveiling The Parent Company: Who Owns Electric Ireland?

Electric Ireland is a regulated supply company and the retail division of ESB, Ireland's leading energy provider. It supplies electricity, gas, and energy services to more than 1.3 million households and businesses on the island of Ireland.

ESB Group owns Electric Ireland

Electric Ireland supplies electricity, gas, and energy services to more than 1.3 million households and businesses on the island of Ireland. It is a regulated supply company, one of fourteen companies operating in the domestic market. Since April 2011, the Commission for Energy Regulation no longer sets the company's prices; the trade-off for this was that the division was required to change its name from ESB to Electric Ireland to "remove confusion" between the ESB's role as an operator of the electricity network and a supplier in that market.

The previous name, ESB Independent Energy, was dropped in January 2012. ESB International Limited is responsible for the company's unregulated activities, principally providing electrical engineering consultancy services around the world.

The State still owns ESB, but it now competes with other companies to supply electricity and gas to homes and businesses in the Republic of Ireland. It also owns Northern Ireland's power supply network, generates electricity, and runs a number of other enterprises.

ESB Networks makes sure electricity reaches the homes and businesses of over 2.5 million customers safely and efficiently, every day, every hour, and every minute.
