Electric Ireland (Irish: Leictreachas Éireann)[1][2] is an Irish utility company that supplies electricity and gas to business and residential customers in Ireland. It is the supply division of the Electricity Supply Board, the former monopoly electricity company in Ireland. The company now operates in an open market competing for the supply of retail electricity to residential customers. Electric Ireland sells a variety of smart technology, including Electric Vehicle Home Chargers, solar PV panels, battery storage, which are also sold by Electric Ireland's online shop. Other major suppliers include Airtricity and, more recently, Bord Gáis Energy.

The business was known previously as ESB Customer Supply and ESB Independent Energy before 4 April 2011.[3] The brand was a transitional one; in January 2012, all references to ESB were dropped and it is simply known as Electric Ireland.[4]
