Ireland-based
MRP
today
announced
a
memorandum
of
understanding
(MoU)
with
the
UK’s
National
Grid,
Portuguese
transmission
system
operator
Redes
Energeticas
Nacionais
(REN)
and
State
Grid
to
develop
Energy
Bridge
–
a
renewables-dedicated
interconnector
that
will
link
Ireland
to
Great
Britain.
The
first
1.2GW
of
capacity
is
due
in
place
by
2017.
Since
the
project
was
first
unveiled
in
June,
MRP
has
openly
cited
China
as
one
likely
source
of
investment.
MRP
is
among
the
most
comfortable
Western
developers
in
working
with
Chinese
equipment
manufacturers
and
lenders.
It
is
working…
