SSE Airtricity has confirmed it is to create 143 new jobs in Belfast.
The call centre roles will be in the areas of customer service, sales and administrative support.

Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said the investment represents further growth in Northern Ireland's important business services sector.
She said: "The salaries for the 143 new jobs will generate an additional £2.7million a year for the economy and the investment confirms SSE Airtricity’s continuing commitment to Northern Ireland.

The proposed training includes recognised qualifications through City and Guilds and IICM, which will enhance the skills pool in Northern Ireland."
Stephen Wheeler, SSE Airtricity Managing Director, said: "We chose Northern Ireland because of the talented, youthful, enthusiastic and capable workforce that is available here and which has already played such a vital role in our business growth to date in Northern Ireland. The support of Invest NI will help us to continue to invest in developing our talent pool with both our existing workforce as well as for the new roles that we will create."
