On 12 March 2015 Skagerrak 4 was officially inaugurated by Danish and Norwegian dignitaries, with Prysmian and the TSOs Energinet.dk and Statnett announcing that the 700 MW HVDC interconnection between Kristiansand (Norway) and Tjele (Denmark) was ready for commercial operation. This fourth Skagerrak link, built entirely as cable on land and subsea, increased total transfer capacity between the two countries to about 1,700 MW and supports greater exchange of renewable hydro and wind power in the Nordic electricity market.
