Economy Minister Dr @CArchibald_SF attended Sustainable Energy Communities NI showcase event at @BcashSports, Lisburn. Speaking at the event the Minister said: “I would like to commend @AdviceNI and its partners for pioneering the Sustainable Energy Community Project, designed to empower local communities to take control of how they generate, conserve, and use energy. "By supporting communities to co-design their own energy future, we are not only creating fairer economic opportunities across the north, but also laying the foundations for a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable economy.
