Construction of Ireland’s largest solar development has been given the green light after planning permission was granted to Hadstone Energy’s 46MW solar farm in County Antrim.
Northern Ireland (NI) Water has confirmed that it is to roll out a new programme of rooftop solar installations in an effort to triple its use of self-generated renewable energy.
Ireland has today set out a raft of clean energy policies and support mechanisms designed to reduce carbon emissions from its energy sector by up to 95% by 2050, with solar to play a central role.
The Northern Ireland Assembly has installed a rooftop solar system at its Stormont Parliament Buildings seat which will help it save around £9,000 per year.
