Locally generated wind power meant Northern Ireland saved £243m in 2023.

The figures are from Wind Energy Ireland’s annual report and a report by energy specialists Baringa.

They found that without wind energy, an additional £176m would have had to be spent on gas to generate power, with an additional almost £70m on carbon credits to burn it.

That reduced emissions by about 0.9m tonnes, equivalent to the amount of carbon produced by 200,000 homes.
