The change, which aims to create a more balanced electricity distribution and pricing between the Nordic region and the rest of Europe, has already proven to have a severe impact on Swedish households, especially in northern Sweden.
Test runs by Svenska kraftnät indicate an average price increase of 10%, but a report from the energy company Fortum warns that prices may rise even further during cold winter days. According to the report, the electricity price is expected to increase up to eight kronor per kWh – a sharp increase from the previous approximately three kronor per kWh.
May result in electricity prices up to three times as high
With rising electricity prices, many companies face the challenge of adapting their operations to preserve profitability and promote sustainability.
With the new electricity structure in Sweden, it is clear that companies that invest in green energy and efficient energy solutions will be stronger in the future.
