From August 2012, the Rómulo interconnector between the Spanish Peninsula and the Balearic Islands entered normal commercial operation, ending the electrical isolation of the Balearic system. Red Eléctrica states that since then the link has operated continuously, initially supplying around 15% of Balearic electricity consumption and, by its fifth year of commercial service, covering about 23% of the archipelago’s demand and enabling significant cost and emissions reductions.
