Stormont could soon be heated with low cost, low carbon geothermal energy pumped from below ground.
The geothermal demonstrator project, led by the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland under Department for the Economy, aims to reduce the cost of heating Northern Ireland’s parliament while making it more climate friendly.
A Freedom of Information request to the Assembly found it cost £945,039 to heat and light Parliament Buildings from September 2020 to August 2022.
