A submarine power cable is a transmission cable for carrying electric power below the surface of the water. [1] These are called "submarine" because they usually carry electric power beneath salt water (arms of the ocean , seas , straits , etc.) but it is also possible to use submarine power cables beneath fresh water (large lakes and rivers ).

The submarine cable was laid in September 2006. [12] [13] [14] The Estlink cable was inaugurated on 4 December 2006 and it became fully operational on 5 January 2007. [15] [16] The Estlink 1 cable was operated by AS Nordic Energy Link company, founded by Baltic and Finnish power companies.
Submarine cable is any electrical cable that is laid on the seabed, although the term is often extended to encompass cables laid on the bottom of large freshwater bodies of water. Examples include: Submarine communications cable; Submarine power cable
Submarine cables are internationally regulated within the framework of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), in particular through the provisions of Articles 112 and 97, 112 and 115, which mandate operational freedom to lay cables in international waters and beyond the continental shelf and reward measures to protect ...
The cable weighs 60 kg/m. [22] It was the fourth longest submarine power cable in the world but has been surpassed and is now the eighth longest.(North Sea Link at 720 km, NorNed at 580 km, and SAPEI at 420 km are longer). 60.8 kilometres (37.8 mi) overhead power line to the Victorian coast; 6.6 kilometres (4.1 mi) underground cable in Victoria
Submarine power cables can operate at many kilovolts: for example, the Fenno-Skan power cable operates at 400 kV DC. A cable termination station is the point at which the submarine cable connects into the land-based infrastructure or network. A cable termination station may be the same facility as the cable landing station, or may be many miles ...
