Energinet.dk planned to begin installing two of the world’s thickest 3‑phase 400 kV AC submarine cables on the seabed of the Little Belt and through Fænø Sund in June–July 2013, replacing the existing 400 kV overhead lines across the strait together with about five kilometres of land cable. The challenging offshore installation, using 420 kV 3‑core submarine cables manufactured by ABB in Karlskrona, Sweden, required temporary closure of the waters off Fænø for periods of up to three weeks and formed part of a beautification project to remove visually intrusive transmission lines near the Lillebælt Bridge.
