HC Deb 14 November 1991 vol 198 c663W
25. Mr. Colvin

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the proposals for interconnectors with Scotland and the Republic of Ireland following the privatisation of Northern Ireland Electricity.

Mr. Hanley

Heads of agreement for a 250 MW interconnector between Northern Ireland and Scotland were signed in September by NIE and Scottish Power. NIE hopes to have the interconnector operational by late 1995/early 1996.

The re-establishment of the interconnector with the Republic of Ireland is under review.
