Dickson Welcomes Diversification at Kilroot as Energy Park Announced

East Antrim Alliance MLA, Stewart Dickson, has welcomed the announcement that there is to be major diversification on and near the Kilroot Power Station site.

Mr Dickson commented: “Having had a personal brief from the company’s Commercial Director, Ian Luney, I look forward to the development there expanding over the coming months and years, as EPUKI moves Kilroot to a new flexible lower carbon gas generation which will be replacing the coal fired generation beyond 2023.

“The whole gambit of energy technology will be developed from battery storage to the solar panel farm concept, in addition to conventional energy generation on and near the site.”
