Dún Laoghaire Harbour To Go Green

Dún Laoghaire Harbour is set to go green thanks to a new renewable electricity supply deal from Ireland's greenest electricity provider, Energia.

In a deal worth more than €140 000, Energia will supply 1.1 gigawatt hours of renewable electricity to Dún Laoghaire Harbour's facilities, including the Ferry Terminal, Harbour Offices, street lighting, recreational facilities and of course, the renowned East Pier and Lighthouse.

Tim Ryan, Operations Manager with Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company commented: "Achieving a high level of environmental protection and promoting sustainable development is a key objective for Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company. Our decision to switch to Energia was based on their competitively-priced green energy.

"By moving to green energy, we can reduce the CO2 emissions from Dun Laoghaire Harbour which is one of our objectives in realising the harbours potential as a major marine, leisure, cultural and tourism destination, as well as securing the long-term sustainability of the Harbour."

Shane Canavan, Key Account Manager, Energia commented: "Dún Laoghaire Harbour is one of Dublin's the regions iconic landmarks and so we are delighted to help it switch to a green electricity supply from Energia. Since Energia has grown to become Ireland's leading business energy supplier, the decision by businesses to switch to or renew their existing energy supply contract with Energia is a common one."
