The Majorca-Ibiza Electricity Link (Rómulo 2), a double tripolar 126 km submarine and land cable connection operating at 132 kV with 2 x 100 MW capacity between the Santa Ponça substation in Mallorca and the Torrent substation in Ibiza, entered into operation in December 2018, ending the electrical isolation of Ibiza and Formentera by interconnecting the Pitiusan system with Mallorca. This strategic AC submarine link is operated by Red Eléctrica de España and provides secure energy exchange between the islands as part of the wider Balearic and Iberian electrical system.
