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.
