Construction jobs to be created by wind farm work

Construction jobs to be created by wind farm work
Around 30 jobs in construction are to be created in Northern Ireland following the approval of planning permission for a new wind farm.

The £5 million development in Carn Hill, County Antrim, will be able to power more than 8,000 homes once it is completed.

It is being built by Irish power company Gaelelectric and six wind turbines are to be put on the land.

Brendan McGrath, chief executive of Gaelelectric, said the construction job was just the start of the company's renewable energy plans for the region.

"The Carn Hill approval is very welcome as it heralds the beginning of the execution of the next stage of our development in Northern Ireland," he stated.

Earlier this week, it was announced that the construction job of an offshore wind turbine manufacturing factory in the north-east of England is set to create around 500 engineering jobs, reported ChronicleLive.
