Construction

In March 2022, Greenlink Interconnector Limited reached financial close on construction of the project, the first privately-financed interconnector in Europe supported under the Cap & Floor regulatory regimes in the UK and Ireland.

​

The contract for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the interconnector is held by a consortium comprised of Siemens Energy and Sumitomo Electric. Preliminary onshore works began in Pembrokeshire and Wexford in January 2022 and the project is planned for completion in early 2025.

​

Greenlink will offer important employment and supply chain opportunities during construction. Businesses interested in offering goods and services to the EPC contractors should visit our Suppliers & Procurement page here.

​

We will continue our proactive engagement with local residents and communities in the vicinity of the project during construction. We welcome any comments or enquiries – just contact us here.
