Onshore construction for the NordBalt project in Lithuania began in 2014, when Merko statyba UAB started building the new HVDC converter substation at Klaipėda as part of the 700 MW HVDC link between Lithuania and Sweden. The civil works for this Klaipėda station, carried out for client LITGRID AB/ABB AB at Kiškėnai Village in Klaipėda district, were scheduled across 2014–2015 and formed the core of the Lithuanian onshore infrastructure for NordBalt.
