NIE Networks has announced it is attending the RUAS Winter Fair in Lisburn.

The event is taking place in the Eikon Exhibition Hall at Balmoral Park on Thursday, 14 December.

NIE Networks will have experts at its stand to advise on working safely around overhead electricity lines. They will be available to take anyone interested in generating their own electricity through the network connection process from start to finish, or to advise about increasing your load connection.

Kevin McDowell, Head of Health, Safety and Environment at NIE Networks, said: "This is always a popular event and offers us a great opportunity to advise the farming community how they can stay safe if working near overhead electricity lines. Whether you are tree cutting, cutting silage or just tidying up round the farm, we would like to remind everyone working near any part of the electricity network to follow safety guidelines and keep themselves and everyone on site safe."
