A new deal has been announced today by Energia and Knock Airport.
The deal will see Energia supply Ireland West Airport with 1.9 gigawatts hours (GWhs) of electricity – the amount of energy that would power over 400 Irish homes for a year. The entirety of this will now be supplied from renewable resources, leading to a saving of 900 tonnes of carbon.
Sales and Marketing Manager at Knock Airport, Donal Healy said, "We have consistently placed a high value on the sustainability of our operations. That is why we have had sourced 100% “green” energy from Energia for over five years now.
"This contract renewal in a restatement of this commitment while at the same time continuing to drive efficiencies at our Airport. We are delighted to be able to partner with a local Irish producer of renewable energy."
John King of Energia added, "We’re delighted to retain Ireland West Airport Knock as a customer. Like thousands of other Irish businesses, they are interested in sustainably generated energy.
"Energia is perfectly positioned to generate and supply this green power at very competitive prices – a win for business and the Irish environment."
