Following around two years of engagement with transmission system operator EirGrid, the Codling Wind Park developers obtained formal confirmation in November 2022 that the project’s grid connection point will be at Poolbeg in Dublin, with a maximum export capacity of 1,450 MW. This Grid Connection Assessment outcome effectively secures the grid connection location and capacity for the Codling–Poolbeg 220 kV export system, enabling detailed design of the export cable route and associated onshore substation works and allowing the project to participate in the ORESS support scheme.
