Decisions due on energy projects

Companies bidding for the rights to develop wind and tidal projects off the Northern Ireland coastline are due to hear if they have been successful.

The companies are hoping to secure leases for a stretch of sea bed between Torr Head and Rathlin Island and another section, off the coast of Ardglass, County Down.

The north Antrim site would be home to a tidal power station.

An off-shore wind turbine project is planned for south east County Down.

It is part of the NI Executive's plan to significantly reduce reliance on fossil fuels by 2020.

It could be the end of the decade before construction work begins.
