We built the new Kilingi-Nõmme 330 kV substation using the turnkey method – the necessary design work was done, equipment procured, installed and tuned, and the substation was turned over to the client in an energised form. Kilingi-Nõmme substation is the starting point of the third 330 kV connection of the Estonian power supply system with Latvia, which is an essential precondition for disconnecting the Estonian power grid from the power supply system of Russia. Kilingi-Nõmme 330 kV substation is significant in strengthening the north-south power connections and integrating the Baltic states into the European power system.

On 1 July 2021, Merko Ehitus Eesti acquired a stake in Connecto Eesti, and the Merko electrical construction business line merged with Connecto. Acting jointly under the Connecto brand makes it possible for us to offer a significantly broader range of services – in addition to the design, construction and maintenance of low, medium and high voltage electricity networks, Connecto also operates in the field of telecommunications and gas networks.
