<p>We are pleased that the Moyle interconnector is back up to full strength after
a period of reduced capacity. This will help with security of supply, and the stability
and flexibility of the grid in Northern Ireland.</p><p> </p><p>One of the issues for
the Moyle interconnector is that imports into Scotland are constrained by wider constraints
on the Scottish grid and on the border between Scotland and England. A number of measures
are being taken to strengthen the Scottish grid and grid connections to England. These
include the Western HVDC link, which is due for completion in mid-2017 and will provide
an additional 2.2GW of capacity.</p><p> </p>
