Officials have granted full planning permission for a £200m electricity line between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
The North South Interconnector Project will see overhead cables connect the power grids between County Tyrone and County Meath.
It's designed to bring down energy costs and ensure demand is met.
In a statement the Department for Infrastructure said: "In arriving at the final decision, the Department carefully considered and agreed with the independent report and recommendations of the PAC which states there is an urgent and compelling need for the proposed development."
It's been welcomed by SONI which runs Northern Ireland's power network.
