Engie Developments Ireland Limited has lodged a planning application with Offaly County Council for a significant electricity infrastructure project in the county. The company is seeking permission to install a 38-kilovolt hybrid grid connection cable that will link the approved Ballyboughlin Solar Park to the existing Clara 38-kilovolt Substation. The proposed cable route will extend approximately 4.5 kilometres in length and will utilise existing public roads for installation.

The project represents part of ongoing investment in renewable energy generation across County Offaly. Further details on the application can be obtained by referencing planning application RED 111 with Offaly County Council's planning department.
