Following an outage on the NordBalt interconnector on Friday 18 March 2016, electricity transmission between Sweden and Lithuania was temporarily stopped. The fault occurred in a joint on the land-based section of the NordBalt cable on the Swedish side. Svenska kraftnät subsequently located the fault and carried out repair works on the affected joint. By 4 April 2016, the transmission link was back in operation, indicating that the cable fault investigation and repair campaign had been successfully completed and NordBalt’s power transfer capability restored.
