France’s Nexans has completed the first cable pull-in on the French side of the first interconnector between Ireland and France, following the initial campaign in Ireland.
Developed by French and Irish transmission system operators (TSOs) Réseau de Transport d’Électricité (RTE) and EirGrid, the Celtic Interconnector will be the first direct electricity interconnection between the European continent and Ireland, spanning approximately 575 kilometers between La Martyre in Brittany, France, and East Cork, Ireland.
