Following the success of the “Practical On-farm Renewable Energy” event last February, a similar event will be held at CAFRE’s Enniskillen campus on Wednesday, February 13th, 2013. The event will run from1.00pm until10.00pm.
Organised by DARD with the assistance of AFBI, Hillsborough and the Ulster Farmers Union, the event aims to provide practical information for farmers and the rural sector about the various renewable energy options available for their businesses.
There will be a series of seminars throughout the day on each of the main renewable energy technologies; wind power, solar PV, anaerobic digestion, solar hot water, micro-hydro and heat from biomass. Included also will be input from farmers who have personally adopted these technologies.
A second series of seminars will deal with many of the issues facing those considering a green energy source. Topics covered will include the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), grid connection, Planning, NI Renewable Obligation Certificate (NIROC’s), business planning and taxation, as well as finance and funding options. In addition there will be a Trade Exhibition and the opportunity to see the biomass boiler installation at Enniskillen campus.
