in Northern Ireland.
According to statistics, more than 2.
6 GW of new onshore wind capacity in 2017 has accounted for more than 20% of the country's total onshore wind capacity, and the cumulative onshore wind power in the country has exceeded 12 GW, which also means that the investment value of £5.
