Installation of a new 110 kV submarine cable on the Crikvenica–Šilo (Krk) route began, with the vessel Ariadne carrying out the laying works as part of the first phase of HOPS’s strategic cable replacement project. The approximately six‑kilometre cable, which had been in place for about 50 years and was out of service due to an irreparable fault, is being replaced to restore a secure electricity supply to Krk and other Adriatic islands; this first phase, valued at 91 million kuna and including the Dugi Rat–Postira (Brač) section, is funded through Croatia’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan, within a wider 440 million kuna programme scheduled to run until June 2024.
