On 30 September 2015, Elering put into service Estonia’s first 110 kV electricity submarine cable between the mainland and Muhu Island, the Virtsu–Võiküla undersea link across the Suur Strait. The project, initiated as a €9.4 million investment to enhance the security of supply to Western Estonia and the islands by replacing older 35 kV oil‑impregnated cables with a higher‑capacity, polyethylene‑insulated 110 kV cable, was planned for completion in 2015 and is recorded in Elering’s history as having been launched on that date.
