Шаблон:Infobox power transmission line
Greenlink is a 190Шаблон:Nbspkm high-voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine power cable under construction between County Wexford in Ireland and Pembrokeshire in Wales.[1]
Project status
As of May 2022, the project has reached financial close,[2] and construction has started. [3]
Offshore construction was scheduled for 2022-23. Trial operation and commissioning is planned for 2024.[4]
Route
The cable will run between EirGrid's Great Island substation in County Wexford, and National Grid's Pembroke substation in Pembrokeshire, with the cable making landfall at Baginbun Beach near Fethard-on-Sea in Ireland and at Freshwater West beach near Castlemartin in Wales. The total length will be Шаблон:Convert, of which Шаблон:Convert will be under the sea.[5][6][7]
Specification
The HVDC link is to be configured as a symmetrical monopole, with DC voltages of ±320Шаблон:NbspkV, and nominal power rating of 500Шаблон:NbspMW. The project is expected to cost €400Шаблон:Nbspmillion.[6]
Project history
Subsea surveys were undertaken in 2018, and public consultations in 2019.[5]
In April 2020, the company submitted three planning applications for onshore construction in Wales.[8] The project still required planning permission and marine licences in both the United Kingdom and in Ireland, but the process of procuring construction contracts had started.[9][5]
In March 2021, the project was granted a licence to install the sea cable in UK waters, with a similar licence for Irish waters still pending. Шаблон:Asof, commissioning of the interconnector was planned for the end of 2023.[10]
In January 2022, construction work on converter stations started.[3]
In March 2022, the company announced that it had reached financial close.[2]
As of September 2022, work had started on the cable route from Great Island to Baginbun with completion of the project now expected in 2024.[11]
