How DG7 Businesses in Ireland Are Saving Thousands on Energy in 2025
If you’re a DG7 energy user, your contract strategy is critical — and more flexible than you might think.
Ireland’s large energy users — those with DG7 meters — are in a strong position to negotiate better energy deals. But too often, they’re stuck on unsuitable contracts or missing out on new options that align better with their operations and goals.
At EnergyBroker.ie, we manage DG7 accounts across sectors, helping clients choose from four advanced contract types to reduce costs, manage risk, and plan long-term.
The 4 Key Energy Contract Types for Large Users in 2025
1. Fixed Rate Contract
Best for: Stability and budgeting
Locks in a fixed energy rate for the entire contract term — ideal for companies that need price certainty and want to protect against market volatility.

2. Market Tracker (Wholesale Indexed)
Best for: Businesses that can ride the market
Follows the monthly average of the wholesale electricity market, plus a supplier fee. Gains when market prices drop — but comes with exposure during peaks.

3. Flexi Heren Gas Product
Best for: Forward planning on gas procurement
Allows gas users to hedge future consumption in 25%, 50%, or 75% bands. Often secured in summer to lock in winter pricing. Great for businesses with predictable usage and high gas load.

4. CPPA – Corporate Power Purchase Agreement
Best for: Long-term renewable sourcing
A CPPA is a long-term agreement to buy electricity directly from a renewable energy generator, such as a wind or solar farm. Supports ESG goals, enhances traceability, and offers long-term pricing visibility.

Why It’s Time to Reassess
Many DG7 customers are:
-
On outdated rolling contracts
-
Overpaying due to lack of market tracking
-
Missing out on new renewable-linked options like CPPA
-
Unaware they can negotiate terms far beyond standard commercial offers
