The Swedish Electricity Authority expects electricity prices to rise next winter, as happened last winter, which could force it to cut off electricity.
“Until now, we haven’t had to turn off the electricity, but if local production is low and we can’t import electricity, it could happen,” said Lovina Lundstrom, an official with authority, citing large expanding the national doing the grid. . , but production levels remain very low in southern Sweden.
And he added: “In this case, the disruption of the industries for which an agreement has been reached is a possible reduction in the areas where they operate”, and stressed that “the risk of power outages to ordinary families is very low. . . , but it is not zero. These are the last people separated. It’s low risk, but we can’t promise anything. ”
The Electricity Authority annually provides forecasts of the size of demand for imports during times of abundance, that is, the times when electricity consumption is greatest in the year.
The authority indicated in its report that demand will increase during the winter and over the next four winters.
Sweden imports electricity mainly from Norway, in addition to Denmark, Germany and Poland. The war in Ukraine affected Sweden’s power supply. As more countries stop buying Russian oil and gas, they will need to increase imports from elsewhere.
