Seminar Event on the Celtic Interconnector Project
The School will be running a seminar on the Celtic Interconnector project sponsored by the Institution of Engineering Technology (IET) at 6:30pm – 8:30 pm on Thursday 4th December in Cummins G.02.
The Celtic Interconnector cable will enable the exchange of 700 MW of electricity between Ireland and France. Moving this electricity across a distance of 575km, with 500km of the cable running under the sea, this interconnector will have the capacity to supply electricity to 450,000 homes. The project is a key step on Ireland’s energy journey to a low carbon energy future. It will make an important contribution to shoring up Ireland's security of electricity supply by providing a direct link to continental Europe.
The speaker is UCC EE graduate Kieran French, who is the Celtic Interconnector Engineering Manager at EirGrid
