Vattenfall Eldistribution: Skultuna–Munga 130 kV reaches legal force

The operator page records Energy Markets Inspectorate concession in November 2025, a March 2026 court rejection, and legal force in April 2026. A 130 kV row is not the Svenska kraftnät 400 kV station.

Vattenfall Eldistribution's Skultuna–Munga project page, read on 12 September 2026, is the dated source used here. It sits inside the Kapacitet Västmanland programme. The page records an Energy Markets Inspectorate concession on 24 November 2025, a land and environment court rejection of an appeal in March 2026, and legal force in April 2026. A 130 kV legal-force row is not reserved hall offtake, and it is not the Svenska kraftnät 400 kV Munga station.

A June 2026 update on the same page points to week 23 forest stamping and valuation, after an 18 May 2026 landowner letter. Stamping is not construction of the line, and it is not a reserved megawatt.

The page already records a significant-environmental-impact decision. That screening decision stays a screening decision. It is not a data-centre permit.

No printed reserved-hall megawatt appears on the page. None is invented here. Neighbouring 400 kV Munga papers stay neighbouring papers.

DataCenterSweden records April 2026 as the legal-force month printed on the operator page. Later construction papers stay later papers.

Why it matters

The regional 130 kV tie toward Munga now has legal force, a different layer from the 400 kV station shovel.

What remains unknown

When the 130 kV line is built and energised, and what load it will carry, is not in the land-agreement updates.
