SSE Airtricity and lighting design house Verde LED are teaming up to provide LED lighting upgrades and energy efficiency improvements to businesses across Ireland.

The two companies already have a well-established relationship, working together on lighting upgrade projects for commercial customers since 2015, with Verde now becoming the supplier’s preferred partner to deliver SEAI-supported, community-based, retrofit lighting schemes.

SSE Airtricity says it has invested €1m in more than 100 lighting upgrade projects carried out by Verde LED in the last three years, saving 10 gigawatt hours (GWh) — enough to power around 2,300 Irish homes.
