About the underground cable
We will use High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) for this project. This form of electricity transmission is used internationally in electricity networks and in Ireland. We are currently considering a range of cable options to determine which is most suitable for this project. Figure 9 provides an indicative overview of what a typical underground cable arrangement would look like.

What does underground cable construction look like?
As this project progresses, we will consult and work closely with local stakeholders to minimise any disruption that may be caused by the construction phase of the project. The following photos provide a typical example of what construction may look like. We will be able to provide more detailed information on what construction looks like when we know mor about the design.
