Overall Winner Of The Sustainable Energy Awards 2014 Announced

Aran Islands Renewable Energy Ltd has been named the overall winner of the Sustainable Energy Awards 2014.

The firm was chosen for its range of energy projects to develop the islands as energy self-sustaining and carbon neutral.

The 11th Sustainable Energy Awards gala event in Dublin, hosted by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and sponsored by Electric Ireland, reward excellence in energy innovation amongst Irish organisations of all sizes, across the business, community and public sectors.


Alex White TD, Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, said: "There is a national movement towards a more sustainable energy future which is evident in the sheer range of organisations honoured by SEAI at the annual Sustainable Energy Awards tonight.

"The Aran Islands Renewable Energy Ltd is just one example of the way in which energy efficiency has been embraced by communities and local organisations throughout the country. Delivering a sustainable energy future will make our homes and businesses more comfortable, healthier and cheaper to run, while replacing expensive imported fossil fuel with domestic jobs.

"I would like to commend all the participants tonight and urge more communities in Ireland to get active and get involved in local energy saving projects."
