An ambitious plan to produce the majority of Northern Ireland’s electricity from renewable sources within seven years will boost the economy by £4.5 billion.
Industry body RenewableNI said the shift away from fossil fuels will also reduce climate change and result in a reduction in the price consumers pay for energy.
The organisation, which represents companies involved in Northern Ireland’s renewable sector, was reacting to the Department for the Economy’s just published consultation on the Draft Offshore Renewable Energy Action Plan (OREAP).
