Finnish transmission system operator Fingrid reported that the Fenno-Skan 1 subsea interconnector cable between Finland and Sweden went offline late on a Tuesday and may remain disconnected for several months. The outage is attributed to an apparent technical glitch located near the Finnish coast, and Fingrid stated that the precise cause is being investigated jointly with the Swedish grid operator Svenska kraftnät. The report was issued from Helsinki on 14 February, indicating a significant unplanned interruption to power transfer capability on the Fenno-Skan 1 HVDC link shortly after it had only recently returned to service following a previous four‑month outage for accident repair and automation equipment installation.
