After a death in Ireland

How to tell Electric Ireland about a death

What Electric Ireland needs when someone dies, how to contact them, and what happens next.

How to tell them

Use Electric Ireland's online help form or phone customer service. Have the account or MPRN number and the new account holder's details ready.

Step by step

  1. Decide: close, or transfer to the person staying. Take a meter reading (MPRN is on the bill).
  2. Open Electric Ireland's help form or phone, with the account number and the new holder's details.
  3. Ask for the final bill or credit refund to go to you.
