Sweden's power transmission system operator Svenska Kraftnat
said in a message to the Nord Pool power exchange that the power flow had been
interrupted for unknown reasons but resumed a few hours later. Causes of the
malfunction are being established.
Vilija Railaite, spokeswoman for the power transmission
system operator Litgrid, told the company had no further information
yet.
Planned maintenance on the line is scheduled for Nov. 7-18.
The 700-megawatt interconnection launched regular operations
in mid-July after operating in a trial mode from the start of 2016. The power
link has gone offline more than 10 times since the start of the year due to
various failures.
The 550-million-euro, 453-kilometer undersea cable linking
Lithuania to Sweden was manufactured and laid by Sweden's ABB.
