Did you know: Ballylumford is Northern Ireland’s largest power station, providing half of the power generated in NI.

Electricity has been generated at this site since 1943 through different versions of power station. The combination of the current fast and flexible asset, alongside the battery storage potential, helps to secure this station’s future in the Irish electricity market.

Ballylumford sits on the north-western tip of Islandmagee, opposite the seaport of Larne, providing for picturesque views in every direction. The view across the water includes the filming location for Castle Black from Game of Thrones.
