Multiple sources indicate that SEAS-NVE completed replacement of the old submarine power (and associated fibre) cables in Smålandsfarvandet, including the Askø–Lilleø cable, during 2014. SEAS-NVE materials and a 2013 report note that the subsea cable serving Askø, Lilleø and Femø would be replaced in 2014. A 6 October 2014 TV2 ØST article, citing an SEAS-NVE press release, reports that SEAS-NVE had begun establishing a new submarine cable to Askø and that in 2014 the sea cables Lolland–Askø, Askø–Lilleø and Lilleø–Femø would be established. Given the project’s operational status and these contemporaneous statements, it is reasonable to place cable installation completion for the Askø–Lilleø link in 2014, with year‑level precision.
