Tue 03 Mar 2010Study into feasibility of Irish Sea electricity grid
A NEW study on the feasibility of an undersea electricity grid in the Irish Sea, which would link off-shore renewable energy farms in Ireland and the UK, has been approved by Minister for Energy Eamon Ryan.
The project, which will examine the potential to connect wind, wave and tidal-energy sites by a new grid, is being supported by governments in the Republic, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Dubbed the Isles project – for Irish Scottish Links on Energy Study – it is EU Commission-funded.
