Croatian transmission system operator HOPS began the Cres–Lošinj interconnection project at the end of February 2024, initiating works to connect the northern Adriatic islands Cres and Lošinj via new 110 kV submarine cables and associated onshore sections, replacing ageing oil‑insulated cables with higher‑capacity, more environmentally friendly technology and involving preparation of land sites and related civil works. These activities form part of a wider programme in 2024 to replace 110 kV submarine cables and corresponding land sections, with factory tests completed in 2023 and onshore site preparation and laying scheduled for Q1 2024.
