The Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) has named Energia as the Greenest Home Electricity Supplier in the Republic of Ireland.

The report is based on fuel-mix and CO2 emissions for each electricity supplier licensed in Ireland.

The report found that Energia's emissions of CO2 in tonnes per Megawatt Hour (MWh) of electricity supplied was 0.027 in 2013. This is significantly lower than other operators who supply the residential market in Ireland. 94% of Energia's fuel mix came from renewable resources in 2013.

Energia's Head of Marketing Geoff Codd said: "As well as getting the best home energy deals, it matters to people that the power they're using is made as sustainably as possible.

"That approach is central to our business where, through our investments in renewable energy, we are one of the most significant contributors to the achievement of Ireland’s C02 emission reduction targets."
