Eirgrid has advised it is having a public engagement in relation to the North-South 400kV Interconnector.
Having undertaken a re-evaluation of the project, Eirgrid has determined that the proposed scheme should proceed in a largely similar guise to that previously proposed, namely that;
- The project should be a 400kV overhead line;
- The previously proposed substation near Kingscourt will not be included in the new planning application;
- The indicative line route for the overhead line is similar to the previously proposed line route but incorporates some modifications.
The next stage of the project will involve consideration of anyt feedback that you may have and the production and publication of a further report called the "Preferred Project Solution Report". This report will also be the subject of further public and landowner consultation.
To find out more about the scheme to date and the next stage of the process, go to Eirgrid's North-South Interconnector webpage.
The final re-evaluation report is also available to download - a response to the submission made by the Doohamlet District Community Development Association is included in Section 2.17 SUBMISSION FS-16 (Page B-47).
Feedback will be accepted up until the 27th May 2013 - to inform the public a series of information days will be held in April and May in Cavan, Carrickmacross and Navan;
- Tuesday 23rd April, 1pm - 8pm, Town Hall Cavan
- Wednesday April 24th, 1pm - 8pm, Town Hall Cavan
- Thursday April 25th, 1pm - 8pm, The Workhouse, Shercock Rd., Carrickmacross
- Friday April 26th, 1pm - 8pm, The Workhouse, Shercock Rd., Carrickmacross
- Monday April 29th, 1pm - 8pm, Navan Education Centre
- Wednesday May 1st, 1pm - 8pm, Navan Education Centre
The DDCDA encourages all local people to make themselves aware of the current Eirgrid proposals and to check the indicative line of the route to see whether there is any potential increased impact on them.
