Imera was a subsidiary of Norwegian offshore services company Oceanteam ASA located in Dublin and Amsterdam.[1] The company was created by merger of a privately owned Irish company Imera Power and Hydragrid, a subsidiary of Oceanteam. Oceanteam owned a 70% stake in the company.[2] [3]

Imera was the promoter of the East–West Interconnector project across Irish Sea between Ireland and Wales.[4] [5] It also proposed the BelBrit interconnector between the United Kingdom and Belgium.[6]

In January 2009, Imera announced plans to build Europagrid, an electricity grid connecting multiple European nations and offshore wind farm projects.[7]

In 2009, it was published that the East West Interconnector did not receive EU grant aid to secure financing.[8] [9] [10] Following this, Oceanteam divested its entire shareholding in Imera in December 2009.[11]
