Text
The Member may not have been in his place when I responded to a question from Mr Aiken on the North/South interconnector. I assume that he is referring to the delay that was announced in the South recently. SONI advised the Department of a delay in the construction following the assessment of the remaining programme of works in the South. My Department continues to engage with the Utility Regulator, SONI, NIE Networks and Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications officials in the South to progress the delivery of the project. The project is clearly highly important to the efficiency of our electricity transmission across the island, and it is important that we see progress quickly.
