Elering | Oil & Gas Feed

Elering has successfully completed the reconstruction work on the Viru-Tsirguliina 330-kV overhead transmission line, which constitutes a part of the major project for synchronisation with Continental Europe.

Estonian power company Elering said that its Supervisory Board has unanimously re-elected Kalle Kilk as Chairman of the Board and CEO, extending his tenure for another five years, with his new term set to run until 31 December 2029.

Estonia's transmission system operator Elering entered into an agreement with construction company Connecto for the renovation of the 330 kilovolts (kV) Paide-Kiisa high-voltage line.

Elering is building a second submarine cable in the Väike Strait. Once the cable is completed, the dam between Muhumaa and Saaremaa will be freed from the approximately 60-year-old high-voltage overhead line this autumn.

The fully upgraded Balti-Tartu high-voltage line was energised by Elering, which makes it the first of the investments completed within the scope of the major synchronisation project.

Elering has recently completed an analysis of energy security risks which indicated that "energy supply risks have grown, above all due to Russian aggression in Ukraine".
