Plans for the fourth electricity connection between Estonia and Latvia have been postponed beyond the original 2038 completion date, and no final decisions have been made.
Estonia’s national transmission system operator, Elering, has projected that new connections with Finland and Latvia would be completed in around 10 years’ time.
Under the updated plan, both Estlink 3 and the fourth Estonia-Latvia connection were scheduled to be completed between 2035 and 2038, with the investment decision planned for 2027-2028.
However, these dates have now been revised.
Elering management board member Reigo Kebja told ERR that, at Finland’s initiative, the projected completion date for the third Estonia-Finland electricity connection, Estlink 3, has been pushed back to 2038, and that timeline could still change.
