Is that really it? I thought Sweden was a net exporter and that the price volatility was much more related to the eu pricing and distribution?


the north exports, the south imports.

If you run datacenters in the north its substantially cheaper.

Places like Malmö have had issues with power costs, even though there's a lot of generation... because that generation happens in the north.


But isn’t that also because of not investing in the grid more than a production problem? Not cheap to upgrade the grid of course but having good transmission capacity makes a more stable and efficient energy system.

Not saying we shouldn’t produce more electricity. But from what I have understood it’s mainly about other factors than production.
