The EstLink 2 electricity transmission link between Finland and Estonia was disconnected from the grid after noon on Wednesday. The Finnish and Estonian transmission system operators Fingrid and Elering immediately started investigating the fault with the authorities and work will continue until the fault has been located.

The electricity transmission link is out of service for the time being. The repair of the connection will start as soon as the fault location has been identified. The failure of the cross-border electricity transmission link did not endanger the operation of the electricity system in Finland, the electricity system is functioning normally and electricity reliability is currently good. At the time of the failure, 650 MW of electricity was transferred from Finland to Estonia.

There are electricity transmission connections from Finland to Estonia, Sweden and Norway. EstLink 2 is the electricity transmission link between Finland and Estonia and has a transmission capacity of 650 MW. The total length of the electricity transmission link is 170 km, of which 145 km is submarine cable, 14 km overhead on the Finnish side and 12 km underground in Estonia.
