HELSINKI, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- The EstLink 2 subsea electricity cable between Finland and Estonia has been repaired and is expected to resume operation on Wednesday, Finnish national power grid operator Fingrid announced on Tuesday.
The submarine cable has been out of operation since Jan. 26, 2024, due to a technical fault. The failure in the electricity transmission system led to higher prices in Estonia and, in turn, reduced the electricity spot prices in Finland, as producers were unable to sell power on the Estonian market, according to a report by Finnish national broadcaster Yle on Tuesday.
