Statnett’s May 2025 project update says cable installation over Fensfjorden is planned for June and July 2025. A later Statnett news article "Strømkabel på 500 meters dyp dobler kapasiteten" reports that the cables were laid "i sommer" (during the summer) and describes the installation in detail. Nexans’ 29 Aug 2025 release confirms the new 7.7 km cables were installed over the summer of 2025. These sources clearly show that offshore cable installation started and proceeded during summer 2025, though they do not state the exact start date, so the start is confirmed in 2025 on an approximate basis.
