After the annual audit, operations were due to start on May 22. However, the restart has been postponed several times.

Now there will be further delays: a planned start on June 10 has been pushed back to June 28, according to a statement from the electricity exchange Nord Pool.

Currently, more than half of Sweden's nuclear fleet is disconnected from the grid due to annual reviews and an unexpected failure at Ringhals reactor 4.

As a result, combined with other factors such as low water levels and high gas prices on the continent, electricity prices are unusually high for June.
