abstract:Airtricity (previously Eirtricity) was founded in Ireland in 1997 and is now a renewable energy company owned by Scottish and Southern Energy. It is an international wind farm developer and is currently building the Greater Gabbard offshore wind farm which is the world's largest off-shore windfarm under construction.
Airtricity already operates one in the Atlantic, and though it currently has a capacity of only 25 megawatts, increasing that merely means adding more turbines.
Airtricity said increasing their tariff was one of the "hardest decisions" any energy provider has to take and said it "deeply regretted" having to do so.
