ANTRIM based Black Box Network Services, one of the world's largest providers of voice communications, data infrastructure and networking products is switching to renewable energy for the first time.
The company, which employs 20 people at three sites covering 4,500 sq feet, says the move is part of a strategy to reduce its carbon footprint as well as to reduce its costs.
"With energy prices increasing it is has been extremely beneficial for u
s to switch to Energia’s energy deal, as we are now saving money on our electricity costs," Roisin Lynch, General Manager at Black Box Network Services, said.
She added: "As our electricity is now supplied from a renewable energy source, we have been able to reduce the company’s carbon emissions and Energia made the process of moving to renewable energy very simple."
Michael Nugent, spokesman for Energia, the largest independent electricity supplier in the island of Ireland, said: "We have been able to reduce business energy costs sometimes by up to 15 per cent and with over 50,000 business customers throughout Ireland we have a good track record. Our renewable energy supply has made green energy more accessible for organisations including, manufacturers, restaurants and retailers, and our new “green” customers are delighted to be able to obtain electricity at up to 15 per cent less than what was previously charged."
Mr Nugent added that any business can switch to Energia easily as there are no new wires or meters.
"All it requires is one phone call," he said.
To switch, choose from two switching methods: by getting an Energia agent to come out and complete the formalities (9045 9070) or by calling the customer helpline 0845 070 1789 armed with the latest electricity bill, bank details and current meter reading.
