On 31 January 2013, SSE plc announced that it would withdraw from the NorthConnect interconnector project and no longer have any financial involvement, in order to focus on its core markets in Britain and Ireland and amid uncertainty over interconnector regulation. The remaining partners—Vattenfall, E-CO Energi, Agder Energi and Lyse—stated that SSE’s exit would not affect their plans to continue developing the Scotland–Norway cable.
