3T secures contract with Belfast City Council as first client for locally generated renewable electricity

Following the recent completion of their 5-year wind farm project located near Mallusk, the team at Northern Ireland’s only supplier of 100% locally generated renewable electricity for businesses, 3T Power, have confirmed their first client to benefit from the wind power generated in the Belfast Hills.

Belfast City Council has joined 3T Power’s growing portfolio of clients based across Northern Ireland who are lowering their carbon footprints and supporting local economies by choosing renewable electricity generated locally in Northern Ireland.

By supplying a constant and traceable source of electricity to the council’s vast estate, the partnership between Belfast City Council and 3T Power highlights the council’s ongoing commitment to transition to a low carbon economy while also creating opportunities for green growth.

In addition to supporting the council’s sustainability goals, the development highlights the council’s continued efforts to modernise and future-proof the brick and mortar of our capital city including office buildings, leisure centres and community hubs.

Through their new 10-megawatt wind farm on the outskirts of Belfast, which includes 5 refurbished wind turbines previously installed in The Netherlands, 3T Power will generate enough renewable electricity to power the equivalent to 8,100 homes per year.

Commenting on its recent completion, 3T Power Director Thomas Kelso said, “The development of a wind farm on the doorstep of Belfast has been years in the making and we are proud to see the site going live this autumn. This significantly increases 3T Power’s capacity, and Belfast City Council’s confirmation as the site’s first customer reflects the leadership position the Council has taken on embracing sustainability and lowering its carbon footprint.

“We look forward to additional businesses from Belfast and beyond joining in partnership through our Renewable Energy Adjustment tariff, which enables customers of all sizes and energy requirements to benefit from price transparency, a clearer idea of where your power comes from, and the ability to lower costs when green power is more plentiful on the grid.”
