By 2017, Fingrid and Svenska kraftnät had carried out investigations into replacing the Fenno-Skan 1 direct current connection either along its existing route or via the Kvarken area, and identified a replacement option with about 800 MW capacity that would increase market capacity by roughly 400 MW. Due to its technical advantages, a new link in the Kvarken area was being examined as the primary alternative for renewing the Fenno-Skan 1 connection.
