The explosions that damaged Nord Stream occurred just over a week ago - and an investigation into suspected sabotage is underway.

When the locations of the gas leaks became known, it soon became clear that the Poland cable, which is used to import and export electricity between Karlshamn in Sweden and Poland, was only about 500 meters from one of the explosion sites.

The electricity cable to Poland is one of Sweden's important connections with the electricity grid in the rest of Europe.

After the explosions in the Baltic Sea that damaged the gas pipelines Nordstream 1 and 2, fears have been raised that the cable to Poland would also have been damaged.

Was already suspended for audit

Since the cable was already switched off as a result of a previously planned audit, neither Swedish nor Polish authorities knew if it had been damaged. 

- Of course we are thinking about whether something has happened to it, said Per Kvarnefalk, head of department at Svenska kraftnät, to SVT last week. 

After the audit was completed, the authority called in specialists to investigate whether the cable had been subjected to any form of sabotage – or whether the explosions may have damaged the cable.

On Tuesday came the results of the measurements which made it clear that no damage or sabotage had affected the cable.

Since the tests went well, the cable will be put into use as previously planned.
