Yuno Energy launched in Ireland as one of the country's newest regulated electricity and gas suppliers. Built around a digital-first model, they offer a broader range of tariff types than most Irish suppliers — including a wholesale-linked Dynamic Plan that is unusual in the Irish retail market. This review covers their full tariff range for 2026, their customer experience, and how they compare to the established players.
Who Is Yuno Energy?
Yuno Energy is a CRU-regulated Irish energy supplier offering electricity and gas to residential customers nationwide. Their offering is centred on app-based account management, smart meter compatibility, and a wider-than-average selection of tariff types — from a basic 24hr plan through to a dynamic wholesale-linked tariff.
As a newer entrant, Yuno Energy has fewer years of customer service data available than Electric Ireland or Bord Gáis Energy. However, they are covered by the CRU's Supplier of Last Resort scheme, meaning your energy supply is protected regardless of what happens to the business.
Yuno Energy Tariffs in 2026
Yuno Energy offers one of the most varied tariff ranges in the Irish market. Their plans split into three categories: Variable Discount, Standard, and Dynamic.
Variable Discount Plan (Electricity)
The Variable Discount Plan is Yuno's most competitive electricity offering and the plan most new customers will be directed to.
24hr Urban:
- Unit rate: 28.27c/kWh (ex VAT)
- Standing charge: €220.97/year (60.5c/day)
- Estimated annual bill: €1,553.98 inc VAT
Day/Night Urban:
- Day rate: 29.64c/kWh (ex VAT)
- Night rate: 17.13c/kWh (ex VAT)
- Standing charge: €277.00/year
- Estimated annual bill: €1,460.36 inc VAT
The D/N plan has a higher standing charge but a cheaper night rate — making it better value for households that use a significant amount of electricity overnight (EV charging, storage heating, overnight dishwashers).
Variable Smart Discount Plan
Available to smart meter customers. Includes a peak rate (5pm–7pm) to encourage load-shifting away from the evening peak. The lower day and night rates compensate for the peak penalty.
- Day rate: 29.82c/kWh (ex VAT)
- Night rate: 18.17c/kWh (ex VAT)
- Peak rate: 33.14c/kWh (ex VAT)
- Standing charge: €244.99/year
Standard Plans
For customers not joining on the discount plan:
- 24hr Urban: 32.55c/kWh, standing charge €242.87/year
- D/N Urban: 33.89c/kWh day, 19.68c/kWh night
Standard plans are about 15% more expensive than the Variable Discount plans — the main reason to pay attention to what plan you are on after any promotional period ends.
Standard Smart Plan (TOU)
A time-of-use plan for smart meter customers on the standard rate:
- Day (8am–11pm, exc peak): 34.41c/kWh
- Night (11pm–8am): 21.69c/kWh
- Peak (5pm–7pm): 39.62c/kWh
- Estimated annual bill: €1,673.39 inc VAT
Standard Dynamic Plan
Yuno Energy's most distinctive product. This is a wholesale-linked tariff where the unit rate tracks the electricity market price at 30-minute intervals. Prices are published in advance so you can plan usage around cheap windows.
- Day base rate (8am–11pm, exc peak): 22.74c/kWh
- Night base rate (11pm–8am): 10.35c/kWh
- Peak base rate (5pm–7pm): 25.19c/kWh
- A price cap of 50c/kWh applies as a consumer protection measure
- Standing charge: €364.58/year (higher than standard plans)
The Dynamic Plan suits households that are willing to actively manage usage — typically those with home batteries, smart appliances, or EV chargers that can be scheduled. The higher standing charge means passive users may not save money.
Gas Tariffs
Yuno Energy offers natural gas supply with two plans:
Variable Gas Discount Plan:
- Unit rate: 8.71c/kWh + 1.15c/kWh carbon tax (ex VAT)
- Standing charge: €137.64/year
- Estimated annual bill: €1,332.00 inc VAT
Standard Gas Plan:
- Unit rate: 9.45c/kWh + 1.15c/kWh carbon tax
- Standing charge: €137.64/year
- Estimated annual bill: €1,420.73 inc VAT
The gas standing charge is noticeably lower than Bord Gáis Energy and Flogas, which can make Yuno competitive for lower-consumption households.
How Does Yuno Energy Compare?
For a 4,200 kWh electricity household on the Variable Discount 24hr plan, Yuno's estimated annual bill is approximately €1,554 inc VAT — competitive with the mid-range of the Irish market but not the cheapest. The D/N plan at €1,460 is stronger value for the right household.
For gas, the Variable Discount EAB of €1,332 is among the lower end of the Irish market for an 11,000 kWh household.

Contract Terms
All Yuno Energy plans operate on a 12-month initial term. Pricing is variable — rates can change during the contract period with notice. The Dynamic Plan has no fixed rate by design.
Check your terms before joining regarding early termination fees.
App & Digital Tools
Yuno Energy places a strong emphasis on their mobile app, which provides real-time usage data, bill forecasting, and account management. For Dynamic Plan customers, the app is essential — it publishes the next day's wholesale-linked prices so you can plan your usage.
Customer Service
Yuno Energy can be reached on 1800 554 400. As a newer supplier, independent review data is more limited compared to Electric Ireland or SSE Airtricity. The CRU's dispute resolution process is available to all Irish energy customers regardless of supplier.
Should You Switch to Yuno Energy?
Switch to Yuno if:
- You want a competitive variable discount plan with no long lock-in
- You have a smart meter and want to benefit from time-of-use tariffs
- You are interested in dynamic wholesale-linked pricing and have a home battery or smart appliances
- You prefer managing your account entirely via an app
Consider alternatives if:
- You want green or renewable electricity (Yuno's plans are not labelled as green tariffs)
- You want the cheapest flat rate available — comparison shop first with GoSwitch
- You prefer a supplier with a longer customer service track record
Verdict
Yuno Energy brings genuine diversity to the Irish tariff market — particularly with their Dynamic Plan, which has no direct equivalent among the larger suppliers. Their Variable Discount rates are competitive, and their gas standing charge is one of the lower ones available. The app-first model suits digitally-engaged households. For anyone looking for an alternative to the main three suppliers, Yuno Energy is a legitimate option worth comparing.
