Power Failure on Strategic NATO Island in the Baltic Sea
The strategic island of Gotland, often referred to as "Sweden's unsinkable aircraft carrier," experienced a significant power outage in 2022, affecting around 60,000 residents. The source of this outage, however, is still unclear.
Contrary to speculations, the current power outage is not caused by a foreign threat, but an ordinary blackout. This revelation comes as a surprise, given that Gotland is home to a NATO contingent responsible for controlling air and sea traffic in the south of the Baltic Sea and ensuring the defense of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
Previous power outages have occurred on Gotland in 2018 and 2020, indicating potential weaknesses in the island's power supply system. Gotland's power is supplied via two submarine cables, Gotland 2 and Gotland 3.
Last year, Gotland was reinforced due to the perceived "Russian threat of conquest." Despite this reinforcement, the power outage highlights the need for continued vigilance and investment in the island's infrastructure.
