More than half (53%) of Northern Ireland's electricity came from renewable sources in the year to June – beating the level previously set in 2022.
And for the first time renewable generation has consistently exceeded non-renewable generation since January.
Even when imported electricity was taken into account, the amount of renewables equalled the previous record of 50%, set in 2022/23.
The Economy Minister Caoimhe Archibald said the increasing level of renewable energy would help Northern Ireland "move away from price volatility and towards more stable and fairer prices" .
Almost three-quarters (74%) of renewable electricity came from wind. Bioenergy – anaerobic digestion, incineration and fermentation – provided just under one-fifth (18%).
