The Northern Ireland Housing Executive, which owns 83,000 homes, will invest £14m in retrofitting 300 homes with energy efficiency measures over the next year.

This investment, part of the Low Carbon Programme, will deliver ‘whole house retrofit’ approach, improving energy efficiency, incorporating renewable technology, and offering low-carbon heating solutions along with energy advice for these households.

Homes in Belfast, Dunmurry, Strabane, Newtownards, Sion Mills, Dungannon, Causeway, and Antrim areas will be upgraded via the scheme by spring 2025.
