Onshore cable-laying activities have started for the 500 MW Greenlink subsea and underground electricity interconnector that will link Ireland and Wales.
The civil engineering work began on 5 September in Wexford, Irelan, along the project’s onshore route.
Twenty-three kilometers of underground cables will be installed along roads and agricultural land between Baginbun Beach, where the marine cable comes ashore, and Great Island.
Work will be done in phases, with up to four crews working at different locations along the route.
Most of the installation work is expected to be completed by September 2023, with some minor activities taking place until June 2024.
