EDF1, which failed in 2012, was installed between Jersey and France in 1985 and was raised from the seabed in preparation for the installation of Normandie 1 along the same route.
The 27km cable was lifted by the 2,685-tonne Atlantic Carrier, which has now returned to her home port in England to unload the final sections of the old cable for disposal and recycling.
