Airtricity claims that its new double discounts offer domestic energy customers the cheapest dual-fuel rates in the Irish market versus either semi-state supplier – its dual-fuel customers can now save annually by availing its 10% gas discount on Bord Gais unit rates and 13% electricity discount on ESB unit rates.
Unveiling its new double discounts, Airtricity announced that it is creating 200 jobs in the Irish market to support its competitive entry into the domestic natural gas energy supply business. The company is adding 100 new full-time positions at its headquarters in Sandyford, Co Dublin, with the remaining 100 jobs being outsourced roles.
The new positions, which are being created over the coming 12 months, encompass sales, customer support, billing and support services.
Kevin Greenhorn, managing director of Airtricity, said: “This major investment by Airtricity, including the creation of 200 new jobs between now and April 2011, will continue to fuel Airtricity’s growth and its ambitions to provide real and sustainable competition in the energy supply market.
“With the launch of Airtricity’s new dual-fuel energy rates, customers will now benefit from real choice, from real competition at last, and from real savings in their gas and electricity costs – putting their money back where it matters most, in their pocket.”
Currently supplying electricity to over 200,000 customers, Airtricity is on target to supply half a million customers in Ireland by 2013.
