In January 2020, during a routine operational test on the Gwynt y Môr export system, an O&M contractor discovered that all fibres in the spare fibre optic cable (FOC) within subsea export cable 3 (SSEC3) had failed. The initial FOC break was located close to the section that had been repaired in 2015, indicating emerging integrity issues on this export circuit.
