Svenska kraftnät
Reduced risk of power crisis in winter
The risk of crisis in the power system this winter is lower than in previous winters. But acute problems, for example in nuclear power or in power transmission, can quickly change the situation, according to Svenska kraftnät.
High electricity prices blown away
After a period of rising electricity prices, they suddenly fell on Saturday. Warm weather – and above all the wind – temporarily pulled the plug.
Now more wind power on land is required
Two heavy energy authorities believe that it will become much more difficult to achieve the green energy transition after the government has in principle stopped all wind farms in the Baltic Sea. Now we will need to accelerate land-based wind power very much, says Daniel Gustafsson at Svenska kraftnät.
More Unpredictable Electricity Prices – but Increased Flows
The flow of electricity to southern Sweden is increasing and the price picture becomes slightly more complicated. The effect is already visible on the first day with flow-based capacity calculation of electricity prices, according to Erik Ek, strategic operations manager at Svenska kraftnät.
Lowest Electricity Price Since 2020 – Calm Winter Expected
Electricity prices are lower than in a long time – Southern Sweden is heading towards the cheapest month since 2020. And despite the new electricity system being expected to raise electricity prices in winter, there are currently no reasons for consumers to worry, according to assessors.
Busch on Vattenfall's signals: Ominous
Vattenfall has warned that another wind power project, Kattegatt Syd, may need to be paused. A bad message, according to Energy and Enterprise Minister Ebba Busch (Christian Democrats).
Busch Rejects Congestion Fee Revenue for Offshore Grids
It is not possible to use bottleneck fees to subsidize the connection fee for offshore wind power, according to the government. It does not comply with the regulatory framework, says Minister for Energy and Industry Ebba Busch (CD).
The opposition: Expand the main grid at sea
A united opposition is pressing the government: Build the power cables to offshore wind power now. Svenska kraftnät should be tasked with using the tens of billions that are lying idle on an account, according to the Social Democrats, the Left Party, the Centre Party, and the Green Party.
Busch: Lower Electricity Bills This Winter
Minister for Energy Ebba Busch (CD) says that the forecast indicates lower electricity prices in winter – despite the new model for electricity transmission. It's very positive, she says.
Risk of Higher Electricity Prices - Business Community Says No
Even the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise now wants to pause the new model for electricity transmission that is to be introduced at the end of October. The model risks leading to higher Swedish electricity prices, according to both experts and electricity producers.
Ukraine's power system better equipped than Sweden's
Ukraine's power system was better prepared for war when the Russians attacked in 2022 than Sweden's is today. That assessment is made by Svenska Kraftnät.
Pause model that makes electricity prices more expensive
At the end of October, a new criticized model is introduced, which is expected to make the electricity price more expensive. We demand that the government postpones the introduction of this new model, says Fredrik Olovsson, energy policy spokesperson for the Social Democrats.
Busch rejects solution for wind power: "Illegal"
The conflict surrounding the financing of offshore wind power projects continues. Financing the power cables through capacity fees is proposed by the Southern Swedish Chamber of Commerce after talks with lawyers.
Electricity may become three times more expensive this winter
Electricity can become really expensive in the winter when the new system for electricity transmission is introduced. Almost three times higher electricity prices can be the consequence, show test runs.
Stopped Wind Farm a Significant Electricity Shock for Skåne Residents
When Vattenfall stops the large wind farm south of Skåne, it is a significant setback for southern Sweden's electricity market. If nothing is done in the coming years, the electricity price risks becoming 40 öre more expensive, according to the Southern Swedish Chamber of Commerce, which has commissioned a new research report.
Elkritiken: "Sverige den stora förloraren"
