In 2018, Neart na Gaoithe’s developers executed a Grid Connection Agreement with National Grid for the Neart na Gaoithe transmission assets, securing connection of the new 220/400 kV onshore substation at Crystal Rig into the existing Crystal Rig grid substation. This agreement, listed among the 2018 construction and transmission contracts, confirms formal acceptance of the grid offer needed for the OFTO export cables and substations to connect the wind farm to the Great Britain transmission network.
