DELAYED +11mo (Apr 2026): No evidence from CIP, Cronos Energy Ltd, Ofgem or EU/ENTSOs sources indicates that a Final Investment Decision has been taken on the Cronos GB–Belgium interconnector as of April 2026. Public material instead describes FID as expected "in 2026" without a specific date. The 1 January 2026 projection was thus an over-precise placeholder. I move the milestone to end‑2026 with year precision, while noting permitting and revenue-framework uncertainty after Ofgem’s 2024 cap‑and‑floor rejection. --- Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners indicates that its UK–Europe interconnector portfolio, including the Cronos GB–Belgium link, is expected to reach Final Investment Decision in 2026, ahead of a planned start of operations between 2030 and 2032.
