Finland is investigating an outage on the Estlink 2 power cable to Estonia, reducing capacity significantly. Authorities are on standby to resolve the issue.
OSLO (Reuters) - Finland's Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said on Wednesday his country was investigating an outage involving an undersea power cable connecting Finland and Estonia.
An unplanned outage on the Estlink 2 interconnector occurred at 1026 GMT, operator Fingrid said in a statement on the Nordpool regulatory web site, reducing its available capacity to 358 megawatts (MW) from an installed capacity of 1,016 MW.
