Svenska kraftnät submitted an application for a network concession under the Swedish Electricity Act ("nätkoncession enligt ellagen") to the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate (Energimarknadsinspektionen, EI) on 10 December 2010. The application covers a new 300 kV direct-current connection, consisting of both land cable and sea cable, running from Nybro on the Swedish mainland to the Swedish territorial border. This concession request is a key planning step for the NordBalt interconnector project, enabling construction and operation of the HVDC link between Sweden and the Baltic region.
