Lithuania's government approved a plan to lay a 450-kilometer undersea power cable in the Baltic Sea, enabling construction of the 700-megawatt NordBalt interconnector between Lithuania and Sweden, with switching stations in Klaipeda and Nybro. This decision granted development approval for the project so that the link could start operating by the end of 2015.
