Accounts Receivable – Team Leader
Location: Dublin

Airtricity is Ireland’s fastest-growing, greenest and largest independent energy provider, supplying over half a million domestic and commercial gas, electricity and home energy services customers.

At Airtricity we believe in energy made better. Airtricity is officially recognised as Ireland’s leading greener energy supplier winning the prestigious Green Energy Award in 2011 for the third year running. Almost one quarter (24%) of the electricity Airtricity supplies to its entire customer base is generated from renewable sources – twice that of its nearest commercial competitor and twice that of the total amount of renewables generated on an All Island basis. The generation of the electricity supplied to all Airtricity customers results in 31% less CO2 emissions per MWh than the energy supplied to the average customer on the island of Ireland.

Airtricity is powered by SSE with renewable energy from the largest wind generation portfolio on the island of Ireland. Over 500MW of renewable energy from 26 wind farms powers Airtricity’s greener electricity supply – including power from Ireland’s largest wind farm, the 84MW Meentycat Wind Farm in Co. Donegal.

Airtricity is a wholly-owned division of the Top 40 FTSE listed SSE plc, the broadest-based energy provider in Ireland and the UK supplying electricity, gas and home services to around 10 million homes and businesses.
