The installation is situated on the former landfill site at the North Foreshore, now known as Giant’s Park, and will provide enough renewable electricity to supply around 6,000 households.Speaking at the event, which was also attended by Belfast Lord Mayor, Naomi Long, the Minister said: “This is a very important milestone for our renewables development. The Giant’s Park installation is the largest non-wind renewable generating station to come into operation in Northern Ireland and only the second to produce electricity from landfill gas. “I look forward to further sites being developed across Northern Ireland, to increase the amount of renewable energy we can harness from landfill gas, an energy source that would otherwise be wasted. To facilitate such further development, I announced earlier this month that electricity generated from landfill gas will be provided with a higher level of financial assistance in Northern Ireland, despite significant reductions in the rest of the UK.”<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4155631908762542127-8303714112277520862?l=weegreentours.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>weegreenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712414634762661739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155631908762542127.post-54645750458439023062009-10-21T03:57:00.000-07:002009-10-21T03:59:13.292-07:00The new '<span style="font-weight: bold;">Wee Green Tours</span>' website has launched today, please use the link below to view:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.weegreentours.com/">www.weegreentours.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4155631908762542127-5464575045843902306?l=weegreentours.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>weegreenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05712414634762661739noreply@blogger.com0
