Our Celtic Interconnector cable installation teams continue to make steady progress pulling the 320 kV DC cables into the 33km ducting route. The specialist cable jointing crews have commenced jointing works on the 400 kV AC section. These jointing works are undertaken in a controlled environment within adapted steel containers placed at the junction bays along the route.

The trenching and ducting teams are advancing steadily along the 320 kV DC cable route, which extends from the Ballyadam site to the landfall at Claycastle Beach in Youghal and they are currently focusing on cable route sections that are off-road.

At the converter station site at Ballyadam, near Carrigtwohill, Siemens Energy have completed the enabling phase and are now progressing the main civil works phase at the site.
