Stormont’s Department for the Economy has begun the process of developing a new energy strategy, which will see the Northern Ireland energy sector fully decarbonised by 2050.
The new direction for energy in Northern Ireland will consider the existing energy mix and how it will be reshaped, as well as considering energy demand reduction.
Economy Minister Diane Dodds has launched a public consultation process on these matters, with the aim of having new strategy in place by the end of this year.
Decarbonisation report
A number of energy choices for Northern Ireland have been fleshed out, in a future decarbonisation report, that has been launched to coincide with the beginning of the public consultation process.

Mark, you are an expert in green energy, and in particular hydrogen. Where are we at with hydrogen technology here in Northern Ireland?
Mark Stockdale: The industry here in Northern Ireland at the moment is still quite small. But it is very much focused on renewable hydrogen and in the pilot stage at the moment. Northern Ireland is already quite advanced compared to other areas. The projects we have are some of the first in the UK and Ireland. While a small industry, Northern Ireland is doing quite well on the renewable side, which makes it very exciting to be involved with it. The EU and other parts of the UK are beginning to take it much more seriously.
