HOPS initiated a strategic "Project for replacement of 110 kV submarine cables" to replace all aging oil‑filled 110 kV island links, including the Dugi Rat–Postira section, with new environmentally friendlier XLPE‑insulated three‑core cables, with works planned to be intensified and completed in the 2019–2021 period and largely financed from EU funds. The European Commission later recorded the Dugi Rat–Postira connection as having been upgraded under this investment programme, indicating that this major asset renewal campaign on the link has been executed, with the new cable designed for a transmission capacity of 122 MVA.
