    L’interconnessione Greenlink tra Irlanda e Regno Unito è stata appena messa online, raddoppiando la capacità di interazione a 1 GW (e abbassando immediatamente i prezzi dell’elettricità in Irlanda…)

      It was supposed to get online on January 23rd.

      Electricity prices on Ireland immediately dropped by 25€/MWh.

      Technically it’s the third interconnector, as the island operates as a single grid.

      The interconnector is [currently in test mode only](https://www.smartgriddashboard.com/#all/interconnection) and the island is now importing 1.5GW of power.

      The price impacts are only going to be properly visible when the interconnector starts taking part in power auctions on the 26th of January.

      There will be a 4th interconnector direct to France online next year, which will add 700MW more capacity.

      Will be interesting to see how this impacts on the household bills. We currently have the highest prices in Europe (as of 2024, I believe). Any reduction would be VERY welcome.

      Unreal. Interconnectors like this one and the upcoming Celtic connector to France allows us to buy from British/French grids when wind generation is low and sell cheap wind energy back when generation is high.

      European supergrid goes brrrr 🇬🇧🤝🇮🇪

      This is great news. Also for some context on UK / Irish nationals grids. [Eirgrid ](https://www.eirgrid.ie/)who are an Irish government state owned entity manage the national energy grid of both Ireland and Northern Ireland and the inter connectors (3 total now on the grid) on the Island of Ireland side.

      So this Inter connector to Ireland from the UK also supports Northern Ireland as its grid is the Irish grid.

      Also the Celtic Inter connector connecting Ireland to the French Nuclear grid is almost completed too, due 2026 – [https://www.eirgrid.ie/celticinterconnector](https://www.eirgrid.ie/celticinterconnector)

      Just need to keep certain ships away from the interconnects…
