Around half of all electricity consumption in Northern Ireland last year was produced from renewable sources, according to latest government data.
The Department of Education said 48.5% of total electricity consumption in the 12 months of the end of March was renewable, a jump of 4.6% on the previous 12-month period. For the full calendar year 2022 renewable energy consumption climbed to 51%.
The achievement has been hailed as a milestone and proof that Northern Ireland is a leader in the transition to renewable energy.
