“Electricity interconnectors provide a way to share electricity between countries and proposed new interconnection developments, aligned with the State’s growing renewable energy sector, could allow Ireland to become a net exporter of electricity,” Mr Ryan said. MPIs are subsea electricity cables connecting a country to neighbouring markets but also connecting offshore generation to shore.

The island of Ireland has two interconnectors with Britain; the East-West Interconnector from Rush in Co Dubllin to Shotton in Wales; and the Moyle Interconnector linking Northern Ireland and Scotland. The Republic’s interconnection capacity currently stands at 500 megawatts but is set to more than treble by 2026 to 1,700MW.
