Yuno Energy vs Flogas 2026: Electricity and Gas Compared

Yuno Energy vs Flogas — comparing gas tariffs, standing charges, electricity options, and which supplier is cheaper for Irish households in 2026.

Flogas is one of Ireland's longest-established gas suppliers — originally focused on LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) for off-grid homes but now a licensed natural gas and electricity supplier for the main grid network. Yuno Energy is a digital-first challenger with competitive pricing across both fuels. Here's how they compare in 2026.

Quick Summary

| | Yuno Energy | Flogas | |---|---|---| | Electricity supply | Yes | Yes | | Gas supply | Yes | Yes | | Dual fuel bundle | Yes | Yes | | Smart meter tariff | Yes | Yes | | Night-rate tariff | Yes | Yes | | Green electricity | No | No | | Dynamic pricing | Yes | No | | LPG supply | No | Yes |

About Flogas

Flogas has been supplying energy to Irish homes since the 1980s, initially specialising in LPG (bottled and bulk liquid petroleum gas) for households not connected to the natural gas network. They have since become a licensed natural gas and electricity supplier on the national grid, competing across the Irish residential market.

Flogas's gas heritage gives them credibility and operational depth in fuel supply. Their natural gas tariffs are competitive, and they retain a strong presence in areas where they built customer relationships through LPG supply.

For off-grid homes that use LPG, Flogas remains one of the primary suppliers. This guide focuses on the main grid natural gas and electricity comparison.

About Yuno Energy

Yuno Energy is a digital-first Irish supplier offering electricity and gas with transparent pricing and innovative tariff structures. Their Dynamic Plan tracks live Irish wholesale electricity prices, while their Variable Discount Plan provides a competitive conventional rate.

Yuno Variable Discount Plan 24hr (electricity):

  • Unit rate: 28.27c/kWh (ex VAT)
  • Standing charge: €220.97/year
  • Estimated annual bill: ~€1,554 inc VAT (4,200 kWh)

Yuno Gas (Variable Discount Plan):

  • Unit rate: 8.71c/kWh + 1.15c/kWh carbon tax = 9.86c/kWh total (ex VAT)
  • Standing charge: €137.64/year
  • Estimated annual bill: ~€1,332 inc VAT (11,000 kWh)

Gas Compared

Gas is the most interesting comparison between these two suppliers, given Flogas's gas heritage.

Yuno Gas

  • Unit rate: 8.71c/kWh + 1.15c/kWh carbon tax = 9.86c/kWh total (ex VAT)
  • Standing charge: €137.64/year (37.7c/day)
  • Estimated annual bill: ~€1,332 inc VAT (11,000 kWh)

Flogas Natural Gas

Flogas's natural gas tariffs on the main grid are competitive in the Irish market. Their standing charges and unit rates sit broadly in line with the market average. Flogas does not consistently undercut other suppliers on headline unit rate — their gas pricing tends to be reliable rather than market-leading.

Yuno's gas standing charge of €137.64/year is notably lower than most competitors' — including Flogas's typical range. For average-consumption gas households, this standing charge advantage saves €10–€25/year before considering unit rates.

For households with below-average gas consumption (smaller homes, mild winters, households with newer insulation), the standing charge difference has an even larger proportional impact.

Electricity Compared

Both Yuno and Flogas offer electricity alongside gas.

Standard Electricity

Yuno's standard 24-hour electricity unit rate of 28.27c/kWh (ex VAT) is competitive. Flogas's electricity tariffs carry new customer discounts and standard rates broadly in line with mid-market positioning.

Smart Meter Options

Yuno offers a night-rate tariff and the Dynamic Plan for smart meter customers.

Flogas offers night-rate options for smart meter customers.

Yuno's Dynamic Plan — tracking live wholesale electricity prices — has no direct equivalent at Flogas. For EV owners, tech-engaged households, or households with home automation, this is a meaningful differentiator in Yuno's favour.

Dual Fuel

Both suppliers offer electricity and gas together. For households on natural gas central heating, the dual fuel comparison is the most important number.

At current rates, for a household using 4,200 kWh of electricity and 11,000 kWh of gas per year, Yuno's combined cost comes to approximately €2,886 inc VAT across both fuels (before any additional dual fuel bundling discount).

Flogas's equivalent combined cost depends on their current promotional pricing. Run the comparison on GoSwitch's dual fuel calculator for the live figure.

LPG: Flogas Only

One area where this comparison doesn't apply to all households: LPG supply. Flogas is one of the primary LPG suppliers in Ireland for homes off the natural gas network. Yuno Energy does not supply LPG.

If your home uses LPG (bottled gas or bulk tank), Flogas is a natural supplier to engage with — but this guide covers natural gas grid supply only.

What Flogas Does Better

Gas heritage and operational experience: Flogas's decades of gas supply give them deep operational knowledge. Customer service on gas-related issues draws on genuine expertise.

LPG availability: For off-grid homes, Flogas provides a combined LPG and (where available) natural gas option that most other suppliers cannot match.

Regional relationships: In parts of Ireland where Flogas built their customer base through LPG, they often have stronger local presence and service capacity.

What Yuno Energy Does Better

Gas standing charge: Yuno's €137.64/year standing charge is consistently lower than Flogas's range, saving a typical household €10–25/year on standing charges alone.

Dynamic electricity: The Yuno Dynamic Plan tracks live wholesale electricity prices — a unique product in the Irish market with no equivalent at Flogas.

Digital account management: Yuno's digital-first approach means a modern account management experience. Flogas, as a more traditional supplier, has a more conventional interface.

Who Should Choose Which?

Choose Yuno Energy if:

  • Lowest gas standing charge is a priority
  • You want dynamic/wholesale electricity pricing
  • Digital account management is important to you
  • You want competitive pricing on both electricity and gas

Choose Flogas if:

  • You are an existing LPG customer looking for natural gas supply from the same company
  • Regional service from a long-established supplier matters to you
  • You value Flogas's gas operational heritage and customer service experience

Verdict

On natural gas cost for standard consumption, Yuno's lower standing charge gives it a consistent advantage. On electricity, both are broadly competitive — check live rates on GoSwitch for the current gap. Flogas's strength is in LPG supply and regional customer relationships built over decades, rather than in headline price competitiveness.
