Interconnection

Given the geography of Ireland the Irish electricity system is relatively isolated compared to systems in mainland Europe and even the UK. However, there is some interconnection to the Northern Ireland system and a project to build an interconnector to the UK is under way.

A copy of the letter granting the three Special Orders to EirGrid in relation to the East West Interconnector are published on this page.
