According to the Technical Works, more than 2,000 households in and around Katrineholm became powerless just before 10.30 on Monday. What exactly caused the power failure is unclear but a troubleshooting is ongoing.

- There were a total of 2,080 households from the beginning. We suspect that there was a fault on a line, but we have not really located exactly what was wrong, but that may be due to the blow, says Marie Lorentzonn, communications strategist at the Technical Works.

The power back two hours later

Just before 12.30 the problem was solved for most households.

- Most have got the power back now, only 19 who are without.
