The 95-kilometre (59 mi) long subsea cable starts at Magħtab, Qalet Marku in Malta and it runs to Marina di Ragusa in Sicily, Italy.

[1] From there it is connected to the Ragusa substation, which is of the Italian TSO Terna, via a 25 kilometres (16 mi) underground cable.

The creation of this subsea cable ended Malta's previous electricity's isolation and diversified its mix of energy sources.

In February 2015, European Commission underlined that Malta's interconnection level would go from 0% to approximately 35% with the new interconnector.

[6] In December 2019 power outages in Malta were being caused by a failure of the interconnector cable having been damaged by a ship's anchor.
