Dublin's high electricity consumption boosts solar savings

Dublin households consume approximately 15% more electricity than the national average due to higher rates of EV ownership, home office use since 2020, and larger appliances. This means solar panels in Dublin offset a higher electricity bill than in rural counties. With daytime rates at 40c+ per kWh on time-of-use tariffs, each kWh of solar self-consumption in Dublin saves more money than the national average.
