Commission for
Regulation of Utilities

Welcome to the Commission for Regulation of Utilities Website

The Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) has changed its name to the Commission for Regulation of Utilities to fully reflect its broadened remit and mission to regulate energy, energy safety and water in the public interest.

The CRU is Ireland’s independent energy and water regulator and has a wide range of economic, customer protection and safety responsibilities.

Following the commencement of the Energy Act 2016, the CER was required to change its name to fully incorporate all aspects of its expanded role.

The strategic objectives of the CRU and its Mission, Vision and Values will remain focused on protecting the interests of the public in terms of safety, energy security and consumer rights.

This website will contain all historical documents previously published by the CER, as well as helpful information for consumers.
