In early October 2019, Elering energised the new 110 kV Muhu–Orissaare submarine cable in the Väike Väin Strait, with installation works having been carried out in August and the cable energised "this week" relative to the 5 October 2019 announcement. This initial energisation marked the first power flow on the link, duplicating the electricity supply route to Saaremaa and Hiiumaa and significantly improving their security of supply by reducing dependence on the Väinatamm overhead lines.
