A major fault on the ElecLink high‑voltage subsea interconnector running through the Channel Tunnel caused operations to stop on 25 September 2024. The link between the French and UK power grids remained fully offline as a safety measure until 5 February 2025, resulting in a prolonged outage during which ElecLink generated no revenue and Getlink later claimed operating losses under its insurance coverage.
