Ecopower has become the 14th energy supplier available for sign up through bonkers.ie and is heating up the competition in the renewable energy sector. Here we take a look at who Ecopower is and what tariffs the supplier has on offer.
Who is Ecopower?
Ecopower was established in Ireland in 1996 as a renewable energy development company, with a particular interest in on-shore wind energy developments. Ecopower’s electricity trading company, Ecopower Supply, secured an Electricity Supply Licence from the CRU in 2011 and it recently started supplying electricity to homes around Ireland.
The company is wholly owned and managed from offices in Kilkenny.
Ecopower generates 100% green, renewable energy from its five wind farms in operation around Ireland. With 43 wind turbines, Ecopower generates enough wind energy to supply 60,000 homes with electricity!
