Finnish power grid operator Fingrid announced on Wednesday that repairs to the damaged EstLink 2 subsea power line, which connects Finland and Estonia, will begin in May, with the line expected to return to commercial use by July 15, 2025.
The outage of the undersea power cable, along with four internet lines, was suspected to have been caused by a ship carrying Russian oil, which Finnish authorities seized in December 2024 in the Baltic Sea. Fingrid stated that a new cable will be installed on the seabed to replace the damaged section, spanning a distance of approximately one kilometer (0.62 miles).
Fingrid emphasized that the repair work involves extensive planning and requires a specially equipped vessel to carry out the task. The work will be performed by Nexans, a global leader in the cable industry.
The EstLink 2 power line is a crucial part of the energy infrastructure connecting Finland and Estonia, and its repair is essential for maintaining energy reliability in both countries. The outage had disrupted the power supply and raised concerns about regional energy security. The planned repair and restoration of EstLink 2 will help restore normal electricity flows between the two nations and improve resilience in the Baltic Sea region’s energy network.
