Failure of a key cable under the Baltic. Urgent message
An underwater power connection between Poland and Sweden has been disabled due to a technical fault, but the national grid remains stable according to the system operator.
A critical underwater power connection between Poland and Sweden has been reported disabled due to a fault. The power line, which can transmit up to 600 MW of energy, is vital for energy exchanges between the two countries. The operator of the transmission system has confirmed the issue while assuring the stability of Poland's national power grid.
The operator's confirmation of the fault raises concerns about the potential impact on energy supply, especially given the significant capacity of the line. With the line down, questions may arise about how this interruption could affect energy trading and reliability across both nations, particularly during peak demand periods. The situation is being monitored closely by authorities.
Further information will be provided soon, indicating that while the immediate concern has been addressed, stakeholders from both nations will likely be involved in assessing the longer-term implications of this disruption.
