MaresConnect passes Ofgem’s interconnector Third Cap & Floor Window eligibility criteria

Dublin, 28th February 2023

We are pleased to announce that MaresConnect has passed Ofgem’s interconnector Cap & Floor Window 3 eligibility criteria alongside six other projects. MaresConnect will now progress to the next stage which will involve a needs case assessment to determine which projects are in the interests of UK consumers.

MaresConnect is expected to play an important role in enabling further integration of renewable energy sources on both sides of the Irish Sea that will make material contribution to UK and Irish decarbonisation targets.

We look forward to Ofgem’s consultation process in the latter half of 2023.
