Elering committed to invest in the new 110 kV Virtsu–Võiküla undersea cable between the Estonian mainland and Muhu island, signing a construction contract with Empower AS in February 2014 for works valued at 9.4 million euros. This decision secured funding for design in 2014, followed by manufacturing, testing and installation of the XLPE-insulated submarine cable to replace one of the existing 35 kV paper-insulated links and enhance security of electricity supply to Saaremaa and Hiiumaa.
