Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union

Implications for Ireland of the Withdrawal of the UK from the EU in Regard to the Energy Sector

Mr. Michael Mahon:

I can speak to interconnection and try to address a couple of the questions. The primary focus is to try to reuse existing infrastructure. As the Senator alluded to earlier, innovation is a key part of this and we spent much time over the past number of years looking at all the different technologies to maximise existing infrastructure. There are various solutions involving the upgrading of existing lines or using new technology to try to maximise the power we can send down the various different lines already around the country. That work is currently taking place and those projects have been set up.
