Bloomberg: Sweden prepares to strike energy facilities in case of conflict

The Swedish authorities have decided to put the Swedish power plant Oresundsverket in Malmö, which was previously mothballed, back into operation. The Swedish grid operator thus intends to ensure uninterrupted power supply in case of attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure in a possible conflict.

The Bloomberg agency writes that.

‘No matter how strong the armed forces become – if we do not get the necessary support from civil defence, we will not be able to do what is required,’ said the Commander-in-Chief of the Swedish Armed Forces Mikael Nillson.

The publication says that the decision was made amid concerns of the Swedish authorities about the possibility of strikes on the country’s critical infrastructure.
