The CSO publishes how many residential electricity meters fall into each consumption band, using ESB Networks data for 2025. These are meters, not households: a home with two meters counts twice, and a holiday home counts like any other.
We leave out 130,482 meters that used under 500 kWh in the year, since many of those are likely to be empty or rarely used homes. Above 10,000 kWh the band is open-ended, so we can only say "at least".
How do we know? Based on Central Statistics Office, Ireland, 2025.
