Northern Ireland Electricity has a new stand in the Nugent Hall at the Balmoral show from 16th to 18th May.

There will be engineers on hand to talk to anyone interested in installing a renewable technology such as a wind turbine or anaerobic digester. Their connections experts will be able to take visitors through the grid connection process from start to finish.

NIE's safety team will be giving valuable advice on how to work safely near the electricity network.

Sinead Ferris, NIE engineer, says there'll be something for everyone at the NIE stand:

"Balmoral Show is a great meeting place and every year we have the opportunity to talk to a range of our customers about what we do and how we can help. This year one of our focuses is on renewable connections.

"The interest in generating your own electricity has grown steadily in recent years and NIE experts will be on hand to advise landowners of the process for connecting large or small scale wind generation and other renewable technologies to the electricity network."
