In 1985, a decision was made to invest in a new HVDC interconnector, Gotland 3, between Västervik on the Swedish mainland and Ygne on Gotland, with a rating similar to the existing Gotland 2 link, in order to satisfy rising electricity demand on the island and improve supply security. This investment enabled the development of a third HVDC cable that would typically operate together with Gotland 2 as a bipolar link but could also function independently.
