What Inver Energy does

Inver Energy is an Irish fuel importer, blender and distributor founded in 1984, headquartered in Cork, Ireland, and operating under Inver Energy Limited (company number 373915). It supplies over 700 million litres of fuel annually to retail, commercial, marine, aviation, agricultural and home-heating customers from its jointly owned Foynes terminal, which has 82,000m³ of storage capacity and flexible blending capability. The product portfolio spans Diesel (B7), Petrol (E10), HVO (EN 15940), B20/B30 biofuel blends, Kerosene, Ethanol, Jet A1, Marine Gas Oil (ISO 8217:2017) and B100 UCOME, all traceable from refinery to pump. Distribution is multi-channel: 18 company-operated service stations, a 90+ branded forecourt partner network under the Inver Advantage programme, direct commercial delivery, the modular Inver Fuel Pod solution, and the Inver Fuel Card accepted at over 1,900 stations across the island of Ireland through the DCI network.

Inver generates revenue primarily through fuel sales on a transactional basis across retail forecourts and commercial/industrial accounts, with recurring subscription economics on the Inver Fuel Card fleet management product and additional transactional revenue from SPAR-branded convenience retail at company-operated sites. Home heating oil revenue is routed through the sister company Amber Oil (also owned by parent Greenergy). Commercial customers access daily, fixed, average-period formula, spot live and multi-currency pricing structures, while retail consumers transact at the pump. Recent strategic emphasis has been on lower-carbon fuel availability (HVO at 13 stations) and international brand extension via Inver Canada in Ontario, supported by community engagement through the Leading Lights programme and operational partnerships such as Too Good To Go. The business is privately held within the Greenergy group, with no public revenue or headcount disclosure.
