Vattenfall’s Finnslätten–Munga February filing is a 220-to-130 kV swap, not reserved Västerås hall power

Vattenfall Eldistribution’s Finnslätten–Munga page says the concession application for the new 130 kV line was filed in February 2026, after the company took over Svenska kraftnät’s RL2 220 kV line in autumn 2025. A voltage-change filing is not reserved offtake.

Vattenfall Eldistribution’s Finnslätten–Munga project page is the dated filing source used here. It says the company took over an existing 220 kV line (RL2) from Svenska kraftnät in autumn 2025. That line is now planned to be demolished and replaced by a new 130 kV line in the same corridor, between the existing Finnslätten station and a planned new transformer station at Munga. The concession application for Finnslätten–Munga was sent in February 2026. A February filing is not reserved offtake.

The Hallsta sentence must stay a Hallsta sentence. Vattenfall also plans a new approximately 2 km 130 kV line between Hallsta and the new Munga station, to be tied to the planned Finnslätten–Sala line. The Hallsta–Munga concession application was sent in late autumn 2025. Those are sibling regional-network rows. They are not the Bränslegatan remittal and not Skultuna–Munga legal force.

The voltage-raise sentence must stay a programme sentence. Vattenfall writes the new line in 130 kV to match a future network that is being raised from 70 kV to 130 kV in several places to increase transfer capacity. The lines are planned as overhead lines. Those are design facts. They are not a hall agreement.

Related grid notes stay on their own pages. Skultuna–Munga legal force, the Inspectorate’s Finnslätten–Bränslegatan remittal and Svenska kraftnät’s 400 kV Munga station notes are different dates and different legal rows. This article does not import a reserved Västerås hall into a Finnslätten–Munga voltage-change day.

DataCenterSweden records February 2026 as a Vattenfall Eldistribution concession filing for Finnslätten–Munga. No project identifier is attached. The next update would need a later primary source that names a granted concession, an energised 130 kV line or a reserved consumption agreement beside Munga. Until then, the February filing stays a 220-to-130 kV swap — not reserved Västerås hall capacity.

Why it matters

A Munga 130 kV filing next to Svenska kraftnät’s 400 kV station is easy to file as spare Västerås hall power. The February page is usable only if the voltage swap stays a voltage swap — not a reservation.

What remains unknown

The page does not grant the February concession or name a reserved consumption agreement beside Finnslätten–Munga.
