Currently, half of Sweden's nuclear power fleet is shut down for annual maintenance.
Ringhals 4 has now announced that the restart will be delayed because of an unforeseen maintenance measure. The start is now scheduled for November 30, more than a month late.
According to the current plan, Ringhals 3 will resume operations on October 31 and Forsmark 1 is expected to be back in operation on November 17.
Electricity prices are already at significantly elevated levels, even before the colder season has begun. This is due to lower water levels in reservoirs and sky-high gas prices on the continent.
The other day, Forsmark 2 unexpectedly went down to reduced power, but the start-up to full power is underway again, according to Vattenfall.
