Hi
I am looking at our supplier of energy at the moment and comparisions on cost show little difference between the different providers, so, if I was to look beyond price and look at service and environmental issues, my questions is, from a green perspective would Airtricity be the provider to opt for?
By opting for them am I really benefitting the environment? I know I still get my supply from the ESB grid so cannot be guaranteed a green supply of electricity from wind farms but does it mean that if I opt for Airtricity, I am helping with the development of green energy for the future.
I find the whole airtricity idea confusing. I thought they supplied 100% green electricity but the fellow calling at the door the other night told me that because they have so many new customers, they only supply 78% green energy to the grid. Where does the rest of it come from?
Thank you.
