UPDATE 8:28 PM EDT --


Gotlands Energi (GEAB), the local energy distributor on the Island of Gotland reports that the power outage was caused by a “disconnect” in cables which run between the island and the Swedish Mainland, with power having been restored in Visby and beginning to be slowly restored across the rest of Gotland.
