NIE jointly operates the Moyle Interconnector with Scottish Power, and has three interconnectors with the Electricity Supply Board in the Republic of Ireland. The main interconnector with the Republic of Ireland was built in 1970 between Tandragee and Louth but the Troubles saw the interconnector destroyed in 1975 and left in that state for twenty years until repair.
