Following analyses of a potential new higher-capacity replacement link, Fingrid and Svenska kraftnät concluded in 2019 that market benefits before 2030 would be modest and that Swedish internal grid reinforcements were a higher priority, and therefore decided to focus on analysing the possibility of extending the lifetime of the existing Fenno-Skan 1 link beyond 2030. The planned lifetime extension study is intended to determine whether continued use of Fenno-Skan 1 is feasible and to inform the optimal timing of any future renewal of the link.
