	Northern Ireland Electricity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NIE does not generate electricity but purchases it from several power stations in Northern Ireland, as well as interconnectors with the Republic of Ireland and Scotland.
		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.
		This is attributed to a number of factors including the small population of Northern Ireland and the large areas of thinly populated countryside the company is required to serve.
