I am aware that a number of companies have expressed interest in the proposition of a European "supergrid" for wind energy but none has as yet made any specific approach to the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) nor to the Transmission System Operator who have responsibility for licensing connection to the national grid and planning the national grid, respectively.
