DELAYED +1yr (Apr 2026): EirGrid’s December 2025 and March 2026 newsletters show HVDC land cable installation still in progress, with 95% installed and the final section to Claycastle Beach due “next month”, so the 2025 completion target has slipped into 2026. Adjusting completion of HVAC/HVDC land cable installation to around April 2026. --- According to the Celtic Interconnector project timeline published in February 2025, completion of installation and jointing of the HVAC and HVDC land cables is scheduled for 2025. This milestone covers the full onshore cable circuits between the Irish landfall, the Ballyadam converter station, and the Knockraha substation, and is planned as a key step ahead of offshore commissioning activities.
