Yes. (Although technically I'm thinking of a straight, not an ocean)

In NZ the bulk of our hydro generation is from the (larger) south island. Consumption is larger in the (more populous) north island. Hence an undersea cable exists. (Sidenote: we have an undersea telecommunication cable direct to the U.S. (which is a freakin long distance), so in terms of technical feasibility, the under-ocean cabling side of things is possible. Not sure what additional challenges would come with energy transmission as opposed to just fibreoptics though... there are losses through resistance in any electricity lines)
