Celtic Interconnector

Progress continued throughout the winter on the project, with 96% of the High Voltage Alternating Cable (HVAC) installation complete. Road reinstatement is continuing on the route, in cooperation with Cork County Council.

We have set up the €2.4 million Celtic Interconnector Community Benefit Fund to recognise how important the local communities are who support our work. We recognise that there may be temporary disruption to areas close to the cable line during construction.

The next phase of works critical to the progress of the Celtic Interconnector at Claycastle beach, Youghal commences Tuesday 3 December. The works will begin with the establishment of a work site in a section of the car park at Claycastle beach. During the works, access to the beach, boardwalk and car park will be always maintained, with occasional pedestrian walkway diversions.

Le tionscadal an Idirnascaire Cheiltigh, cruthófar idirnasc leictreachais idir Éire agus an Fhrainc chun malartú leictreachais idir an dá thír a éascú. Déanfaidh an nasc an fostáisiún leictreachais atá ann faoi láthair i gCnoc Rátha (in oirthear Chorcaí) a cheangal leis an bhfostáisiún in La Martyre (Finistère, an Fhrainc). Cuirfidh sé le soláthar leictreachais níos inbhuanaithe agus níos seasmhaí agus an t-aon nasc díreach fuinnimh amháin idir Éire agus Ballstát den Aontas Eorpach á chur ar fáil aige.

This newsletter will bring you up to date on the current works in Ireland and France, including steel works and cable installation, community benefit funding and other topics related to the successful delivery of this strategic energy project.
