Murphy recently participated in the groundbreaking ceremony for the highly anticipated Eastern Green Link 1, a major new infrastructure project.

The joint venture between SP Energy Networks and National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) aims to provide green electricity to two million homes. The project will stretch over 190 kilometers, primarily through undersea cable, linking the south-east of Scotland with the north-east of England. This initiative marks a significant step forward in the UK’s transition to cleaner energy, reinforcing the commitment to sustainable and renewable power sources.
