Break down NorNed

20-05-2010

Tuesday 18 May at 16.30 hours, the NorNed interconnector between Norway and The Netherlands was out of operation due to a breakdown in the converter at Eemshaven.
The cable itself is undamaged. As of 21.00 hours on the same day, the NorNed cable was back in operation. The available capacity has been limited to 600 MW. 
It is unknown when full capacity, 700 MW, will be available for the market again.
