On 10 September 2012, the Swedish Land and Environment Court (Mark- och miljödomstolen) granted Svenska kraftnät a permit to conduct water operations in connection with construction works at the NordBalt project’s Swedish station site near Nybro. The decision, made under Chapter 11 of the Swedish Environmental Code (miljöbalken), authorises water-related activities required for building a new AC switchgear (växelströmsställverk) and a converter station (omriktarstation) within the property Rismåla 2:61 in Nybro municipality. This permit was a key regulatory step enabling Svenska kraftnät to proceed with necessary civil and waterworks at the station area that forms part of the NordBalt HVDC interconnector infrastructure.
