A GROUP of children have shown how they are learning to reduce their carbon footprint and their school’s energy bills, but have also taken the message outside the classroom.

ESB Independent Energy (ESBIE) today announced that it has won an all-Ireland contract with BT for the supply of electricity to the BT group in Ireland.

A war of words broke out today between Northern Ireland Electricity and the ESB over the supply of cheaper electricity to business customers in the North through the opening up of the market to competition.
