Underground option to be pursued by Eirgrid for the North Connacht 110kV power line
Eirgrid appears to be pursuing an underground option for its planned North Connacht 110kV power line.
The proposed power line will run from Ballina to Ballaghaderreen, and has been designed to cater for increased renewable energy capacity in the region into the future, and will also secure the power supply into the north Mayo region.
Extensive public consultation has been carried out in relation to the route proposals for the project which consisted of seven options – four overhead line designs, and three underground cable options.
There has been widespread opposition to the overhead line proposals in particular, in the Attymass area where a local opposition group was established highlighting concerns over the impact of overhead lines held up on large mast structures on the local environment.
