Planning sought for Irish side of €450m UK interconnector

The interconnector would have the capacity to power the equivalent of 380,000 homes.

A planning application is to be submitted to An Bord Pleanála this week for permission for the Irish side of a €450m grid-connector with the UK.

The project, named Greenlink, is a privately funded interconnector which would see a 190km grid connection placed between the Wexford and Wales coastlines.
