The domestic gas market in the Greater Belfast, Larne and East Down area (Phoenix Natural Gas Network) is open to competition which means customers can shop around and switch gas supplier. There are currently two gas suppliers to choose from who are Firmus Energy and SSE Airtricity Gas:
Currently in the ‘ten towns’ area (Firmus Energy Gas Network), which is mainly the ten towns outside the Greater Belfast area, domestic gas customers can only choose from one supplier.
