A Dec 25, 2025 CeutaTV article citing the Delegación del Gobierno says the physical connection and substations are finished but energization awaits a Real Decreto and tests, with full operation expected in the first months/first quarter of 2026. Given this updated official window and typical time for approvals and commissioning, the COD is shifted to late April 2026 as an approximate end-of-window date. --- The Andalucia-Ceuta 132 kV HVAC submarine interconnection between mainland Spain and the city of Ceuta is expected to become operationally complete at the beginning of 2026.
