The undersea power link Estlink 2, which connects Finland and Estonia, experienced a significant outage on December 25, 2024. The disruption occurred around 12:30 PM local time, with Fingrid, the Finnish transmission system operator, confirming that the link's capacity dropped from 1,016 megawatts (MW) to just 358 MW. Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo stated that authorities are actively investigating the cause of the outage, and while they are looking into various possibilities, including potential vandalism, the interruption is not expected to impact electricity supply for Finnish consumers.
