Translation notes :

bree vees aa-noaghey : energy which is renewing; bree vees goll er aa-noaghey might express it better, but is cumbersome                                   ry chummal seose : to be kept up, supportable, viable
lectraghys er ny ghientyn : electricity, literally after its being generated, that has been generated, "electricity generated"  
moggyl : a mesh, to describe the inter-linking system of what is called the National Grid
y ve : this is the only verb to attract this usage, rather than letting ve stand alone, being already in its lenited form, in its/their state of being, but tends to be literary
oyr son ve mollit : a reason for being disappointed, for disappointing                                                                                                                     stoyr as shirrey : supply and demand                                                                                                                                                              connaghyn : plural of conney, a fuel (Kelly), originally from the use of types of gorse as a fuel                                                                                neunhee-glen : net-zero

The auction invites companies to bid to develop renewable energy projects to supply the UK grid with power.
