ESB Standing Charges Rip Off
ESB Standing Charges
Noticed this while doing a bit of research before Pat Rabbitte's visit. Basically the ESB charges a rural and an urban standing charge, presumably to reflect the extra cost off providing a service in a rural area. However it has transpired that the ESB was charging the higher rural rate of €92 in places such as Grangerath and the large estates in Stamullen. The urban rate is €54, but the definition of rural and urban is fuzzy.
I checked my bill and lo the charge was at the higher rate despite living in the centre of the village. I would urge residents, especially those in newly built estates to check their bills as outlined in the link above.

As a julianstown resident of over three years, I feel justified in saying that the ESB standing charge is an outrage, especially when you consider that only a mile or so down the road in laytown the standing charge is at the lower rate.
