More than 36,000 households in Kildare are missing out on savings of up to €2,000 in energy costs per year by failing to switch providers, a new survey has revealed.

The index shows the gap between the cheapest and most expensive plans on the market with a €2000 annual difference between some dual-fuel plans for these house types.
For semi-detached homes the index reveals savings of €800 for dual-fuel customers (€2,250 versus €1,450 per annum), and €620 for apartment or terraced-house residents (€1,600 versus €980 per annum).
