BBC News By Conor Spackman and Claire Irwin BBC Spotlight image copyrightPA Fifteen years ago, hardly any of the electricity we use in Northern Ireland came from renewable sources like wind and solar power. Polluting fossil fuels, many of them sourced from distant lands, were our staple. But all that has changed. In the year to March 2020, renewable sources provided almost 47% of our power, easily hitting the Northern Ireland Executive s target of 40% by 2020.
