Construction works on the new 330 kV electric power transmission line of the AS Augstsprieguma tīkls (AST) development project “Third Estonia – Latvia interconnection” in Mazsalaca, Burtnieki, and Rūjiena counties are in their closing phase. In these sections the construction of the wiring is almost completed; however, in Limbaži and Aloja counties the wiring is in progress.
