Celtic Interconnector

The trenching and installation of ducting to carry the high voltage direct current (HVDC) cable on the route from Claycastle Beach to the converter station in Ballyadam is complete. Over 60% of the HVDC cables have been installed. Cable installation and jointing of the cables on the N25 between Youghal and Killeagh and between Killeagh and Castlemartyr has been completed. Permanent road reinstatement on these sections has finished. At the landfall, the cofferdam was removed and the beach returned to its former state for public use.

In June 2025 mayors representing the various French communes through which the Celtic interconnector project runs through in France were welcomed to east Cork. Accompanied by our project partner, Rte they visited the project area and were warmly welcomed by the Celtic east Cork communities.

Tá trinseáil agus suiteáil na duchtála chun an cábla srutha dhírigh ardvoltais (SDAV) a iompar feadh an bhealaigh ó Thrá an Chaisleáin Chria go dtí an stáisiún tiontaire i mBaile Adaim curtha i gcrích. Tá suiteáil cábla sna duchtanna agus siúntáil faid na gcáblaí lena chéile feadh an bhealaigh ar an N25 idir Eochaill agus Cill Ia curtha i gcrích, agus cuirfear an bóthar ar ais mar a bhí an mhí seo chugainn. Is ionann sin agus cuid amháin den trí chuid de bhealach an chábla ar an N25. Leanfar leis an obair ar an dara cuid ó Chill Ia go Baile na Martra.

Bhain an tionscadal garsprioc shuntasach amach i mí an Mhárta, agus oibreacha riachtanacha duchtála cábla ar tír curtha i gcrích go rathúil ag an gcuid trá de Thrá an Chaisleáin Chria, Eochaill. An méid a bhí i gceist leis na hoibreacha ná píobáin duchtála a ardú go sioncronach chuig an gcófradhamba (trinse) ag cúig chraein, sular íslíodh iad in áit sa trinse. Rinneadh na beacht-oibreacha seo idir fuinneoga taoide na trá
