GREEN power generation firm Energia has begun supplying energy from five new wind farms in rural Antrim and Tyrone, which between them are supplying a total of 73 megawatts of energy capable of powering 36,000 homes.
Located at Longmountain and Glenbuck in Co Antrim and at Altamuskin, Eshmore and Gortfinbar in Co Tyrone, the new facilities mark the culmination of years of development work and construction by Energia, which has invested £600 million in wind farm projects to date.
