DELAYED +4yr (May 2026): Elering CEO Kalle Kilk told Vikerraadio's Reporteritund (reported 5 May 2026 by ERR): 'Based on our earlier understanding, we planned the earliest completion date for 2035. Today, it is more likely to be 2038 and perhaps even later.' Resetting commercial operations projection from 2035-01-01 (day, sourced 2024 development plan) to 2038-12-31 with year precision — the new stated mid-point and consistent with the existing late_development_other event already anchored at 2038-12-31. Also corrects a precision bug on the prior row, where Jan 1 was being treated as day-precision rather than as a year-grain anchor. --- EstLink 3, a 700 MW undersea interconnector between Finland and Estonia developed by transmission system operators Elering and Fingrid, is planned to be completed and commissioned in 2035, at which point it is expected to enter full commercial operation and enhance cross‑border capacity and market integration in the Nordic‑Baltic region.
