The LirIC Interconnector project accepted a grid connection offer from the Northern Ireland Grid System Operator (SONI), marking a key regulatory milestone for the planned 700MW HVDC link between Northern Ireland and Great Britain. This acceptance secures a future connection point for LirIC on the Northern Ireland grid and demonstrates formal system operator support for the project. Together with other development work, this step indicates that LirIC is progressing through its early development phase towards delivery by 2032.
