 * I can't find it right now, but one of these background documents explained that due to be being built as single circuit connection (for economic reasons to reduce building and transmission cost), the diesel generation facilities should remain in use as reserve capacities in the case of transmission interruption.

 * http://www2.env.uea.ac.uk/energy/energy_links/transmission/tnei-grid-study-june-07.pdf says at the page 37 that to avoid replacement existing generation [due to nearing end of economic life] interconnector needs two independent circuit. According to developer, the connector will be sinle circuit. http://www.ssepd.co.uk/uploadedFiles/TPCR5_Green_Paper.pdf Beagel (talk) 14:12, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
