What is Estlink?
Estlink is a submarine cable project, which from the end of 2006 will connect the electrical power systems of Estonia and Finland. Estlink will be the first step in establishing a connection between the Baltic and EU power systems. The cable will run from the Finish transmission network at Espoo substation to the Estonian transmission network at Harku substation. Behind the project are the three Baltic power companies Eesti Energia, Latvenergo, Lietuvos Energija; and Pohjolan Voima and Helsingin Energia from Finland.
