North Belfast Sinn Féin MLA, Gerry Kelly welcomed ‘a positive’ green development to North Belfast news that a former landfill site in North Belfast will soon be providing electricity to thousands of homes as part of a multi-million pound green energy project.
Belfast City Council is hoping the unique joint venture, the biggest landfill generating electricity scheme in the north, will be producing five million watts of electricity every single hour by next summer.
“Given the current high price of electricity and its dependency on the price of world oil and energy prices this is a welcome initiative producing electricity from what we all would consider waste,” said Gerry Kelly.
“There has been a debate about the use of the North Foreshore site and the landfill that is situated there has raised a fair amount of controversy over the years but this development now sees a positive, green contribution come from the former landfill which will benefit people locally.”
