In 2011, the Fenno-Skan 2 high-voltage direct current interconnector’s approximately 200-kilometre submarine cable was fully laid on the seabed of the Gulf of Bothnia between Finland and Sweden, using the cable-laying vessel SC Skagerrak and cable manufactured by Nexans. Completion of the subsea cable installation, together with the subsequent completion of the converter stations, enabled the 800 MW, 500 kV link to be made fully available to the Nordic electricity market later that year.
