    Could this be a stepping stone to an Iceland interconnect? Or is that infeasible?

      An Iceland-Europe interconnect is technically feasable but much more challenging - we’re talking about 1,000+ km of seabed cable through deep Atlantic waters vs the 575km Celtic project, plus Iceland’s entire electricity generation is only ~19 TWh annually which limits export capacity.
