North-South Interconnector: EirGrid
11:30 am
Mr. Fintan Slye:
It is an excellent question. If one looks ten, 20 or 25 years down the road, for example, if there was an interconnector with France in addition to one to the UK, one would see benefits accruing to both. We would produce it more cheaply and efficiently than in either of those two other jurisdictions, with large amount of wind and renewable resources here.
