Celtic Interconnector Delayed Until 2028
Description
Irelands Celtic Interconnector project, aiming to deliver cheap nuclear electricity from France, faces a significant delay until late 2028. Despite land work in Ireland on track to finish by 2026, sea cable laying has encountered challenges, exacerbated by recent fuel protests and geopolitical tensions causing gas supply crunches. Energy Minister Darragh OBrien attributes slower progress to harsh weather and complex sea-bed conditions. With five hundred workers involved, the project aims for commissioning in the fourth quarter of 2028, offering a potential solution to Irelands energy vulnerabilities.
