New Green Energy Supplier Launches In NI

‘bright’, a brand-new energy supplier has launched in Northern Ireland with the creation of 20 full-time jobs at its Belfast HQ.

Having previously found success launching in the Republic of Ireland earlier in the year (July 2020) the company now wants to add to its growing all island customer base.

The venture was founded by energy entrepreneurs Ciaran and Stephen Devine and is a partnership between the brothers and Maxol, Ireland’s largest family-owned forecourt retailer.

The team at bright are on a mission to bring renewable power to the people, with a 100% green electricity tariff that’s fair for all. With energy at the heart of everything they do, they are united in their journey towards green electricity for all!

Ciaran Devine, chief executive of Bright, said: “Households in Northern Ireland can now switch away from expensive, overly complicated bills to a simpler, less costly and more sustainable solution with bright.

“Our entire approach is based on what’s best for our members and for the planet. We offer green, affordable electricity that’s fair for all. We don’t see why it should be any more complicated than that.

“Bright’s electricity is sourced from renewables and we have one simple standard variable rate tariff with no tie ins or exits fees, meaning all our customers receive our best price.

“It’s a critical time as we face the challenges of climate change, but people shouldn’t have to pay more to do good; and with bright they don’t have to.

Brian Donaldson, chief executive of The Maxol Group said going green has always been high on its agenda. He said: “Renewable and sustainable choices have been central to Maxol’s operations for many years and when it comes to environmental initiatives, 2020 has been our most prolific.

“We want to make the greener choice easier for customers and the launch of bright is one of a number of programmes that demonstrates our commitment to the environment.

“Maxol is a family-owned business. Partnering with another family business of similar values has culminated in bright, an exciting new entity with a real focus on sustainability and the future proofing of our planet for current and next generations.”
