COPENHAGEN, March 10 (Reuters) – A disturbance has occurred on the Fenno-Skan 2 power connection between Finland and Sweden, Finnish grid operator Fingrid said on Tuesday.
“The cause of the failure is being investigated,” Fingrid said in a statement.
Fenno-Skan 2 is a 800 megawatt (MW) high-voltage direct current electricity transmission link between Finland and Sweden.
The outage was expected to last for around 18 hours, according to a separate regulatory statement published by Swedish grid operator Svenska kraftnaet on the Nord Pool messaging platform.
