A controversial plan to sell off the Green Investment Bank (GIB) to an Australian investor may be scrapped in favour of a £3.8billion stock market flotation, it has been reported.
The Green Investment Bank is to be sold off by the Government in a bid to drive more private money into green energy projects.
The Government will fire the starting pistol on the sale on March 3 when it invites private investors to express an interest.
Northern Ireland has secured £47million of funding from the UK Green Investment Bank (GIB) for an energy from waste facility.
It will be the largest project of its kind to be financed in the country and will have the capacity to generate enough power for 14,500 homes.
Around 250 construction jobs will also be created in around 20 operations.
