The Finnish transmission system operator, Fingrid, reported a technical disruption in the Fenno–Skan 2 cable, which connects Finland to Sweden. The incident occurred on Tuesday morning at 7:13 AM, and currently, the capacity of this direct current connection is not available for market use. Fingrid is investigating the cause of the disturbance, with preliminary indications suggesting that a technical fault at a substation might be responsible. Jonne Jäppinen, the head of the unit, stated that there are no signs of deliberate damage, and reassured that the submarine cable itself does not appear to be at fault.

Jäppinen explained that there are a total of five electricity transmission connections between Finland and Sweden, with the Fenno–Skan 2 link having a capacity of around 800 megawatts, while the total capacity across all five cables exceeds 3,000 megawatts. Despite the disturbance, he noted that there is currently no disruption in electricity supply. Finland's electricity system remains stable at this time, indicating that the situation has not severely impacted power availability for consumers.

The duration of the repair for the disruption is still uncertain, and Jäppinen mentioned that further assessments would be needed to determine how long the repairs might take. He reassured the public that efforts would be made to rectify the issue as swiftly as possible in order to return to normal operations and ensure continued electricity flow between the two countries.
