The utility infrastructure in Royal Avenue and the surrounding area of Belfast City Centre is set to receive a boost this month with the commencement of a £500,000 investment project by Northern Ireland Electricity Networks (NIE Networks).
 

With the Renewable Energy Sources for Electricity (RES-E) target set for 2020, latest figures show that 38% of the total annual electricity consumption in Northern Ireland is being generated from local renewable sources, meaning the region is on course to achieve the ambitious 40% target set.
