It covers overhead-line projects at 400 kV and 225 kV. RTE said project-support plans will provide €1,000 a year per equivalent pylon for new 400 kV lines and €375 for 225 kV lines. Payments are scheduled for 80 years from the line’s commissioning. These are framework rates, not the total amount any one farm will receive. ## Data ### Event in the official release Summary of the energy-sector development reported by the source.
