In December 2006, the EstLink 1 HVDC Light interconnector between Estonia and Finland was commissioned, enabling the first exchange of electric power between the Baltic states and the Nordic (Nordel) power systems. The 350 MW, ±150 kV link connects the national grids via underground and subsea cables between the Harku and Espoo substations, improving supply security and facilitating electricity trading in the Baltic region.
