On the Danish Baltic Sea island of Bornholm, the power failed over a large area on Monday morning. Bornholm is supplied with electricity from Sweden by a deep-sea cable; the Swedish coast is much closer than the Danish one. Since leaks occurred in the Baltic Sea natural gas pipelines Nord Stream 1 and 2, which bypass Bornholm, at the end of September, the power failure immediately raised the question of whether the event was related to the Nord Stream leaks in any way.
