Estonian-Finnish undersea power connection Estlink 1 restored after outage
The Estonian-Finnish high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission connection Estlink 1 was restored before 1 p.m. on Friday, an hour and a half after going off grid due to a technical failure.
Estlink 1 went offline at 11:17 a.m. on Friday; the link's power capacity stood at 50 megawatts (MW) at the time, Finnish transmission system operator (TSO) Fingrid announced.
According to an update just before 1 p.m., Estlink 1 had been brought back online at 12:49 p.m.
The disruption to power transmission between the two countries was caused by a normal fault situation, the cause of which is being investigated, the Finnish TSO said.
