Fingrid and Svenska Kraftnät have chosen Vattenfall Services Nordic Ab to construct the 500-kV high-voltage direct current line between the Dannebo and Finnböle substations in Finland. The construction of the transmission line is part of the Fenno-Skan 2 submarine cable project between Finland and Sweden, due to be ready at the end of 2011.

Fenno-Skan 2 will be an 800-MW and 500-kV electricity transmission connection between Finland and Sweden. The total length of the link will be approximately 300 km, of which the actual submarine cable will account for some 200 km.
