Russian energy divides opinions in Finland

Finnish industrial giants Outokumpu, Stora Enso and M-real have written jointly to the ministry of trade and industry to speed up the construction of an energy cable from Russia, the Helsingin Sanomat newspaper reports in its Saturday issue.

The planned project involves an energy cable running at the bottom of the Gulf of Finland from Kernovo in Russia to Mussalo, near Kotka, in Finland. It would facilitate the transport of around 1,000 megawatts, which amounts approximately to the output of a largish nuclear power station.
