The interconnector cable will extend from two newly proposed ring main units at the permitted Ballynaclashy solar farm to an inverter at the permitted Lysaghtstown Solar Farm. The proposed development provides for a revision to part of the approved layout of the Ballynaclashy solar farm previously permitted under Cork County Council planning ref no. 21/4050 & An Bord Pleanála ref ABP 311238-21. The revision to the layout comprises the installation of 2 no. ring mains units and the laying of the underground electricity interconnector cable.

The revision to this layout comprises the laying of the underground electricity interconnector cable to an already permitted inverter. The development will be carried out within the combination of the above referenced permitted solar farm boundaries, on private lands within the L-7634, L-36172, L-7694 and R626 public roads.
