In 2014 the Bord Gáis Energy division was sold to a consortium led by Centrica,[7] and the Bord Gáis name was transferred as part of the sale. Bord Gáis Éireann was therefore renamed Ervia in June 2014 and as a result no longer sells gas directly to customers. Ervia is the parent company of dark fibre operator Aurora Telecom.
