On 17 October 2022, Red Eléctrica successfully completed the new 132 kV subsea electricity link between the Playa Blanca substation in Lanzarote and the La Oliva substation in Fuerteventura, comprising a 14.5 km underwater cable at up to 80 metres depth and two underground land sections of 1.8 km on Lanzarote and 645 metres on Fuerteventura. The completed cable significantly strengthens the quality and security of supply on both islands and reduces their dependence on fossil fuels.
