The power market
The Swedish power market now
What is being produced, what is being used, and what electricity costs on the exchange. The page is built from open data from Svenska kraftnät, Nord Pool's urgent market messages, Nord Pool's day-ahead prices and SMHI, and is updated twice a day.

Nuclear power
Sweden's six reactors, all in price area SE3. Status and outages from the urgent market messages (UMM) the operators publish on Nord Pool.

Other production out of service
91 outage messages for other production and 66 for transmission in the period.
Individual plants are listed for nuclear power only. All other production is shown summed and unnamed, as the terms for Nord Pool's urgent market messages require.
Production mix, 30 and 90 days
Daily means per production type. The bars cover the last 90 days; the table gives the mean and the share of production over both 30 and 90 days.

The spot price over time
Monthly means of the daily average prices, 24 months back, per price area. These are bare exchange prices — markup, energy tax and the grid fee come on top.

Each bar is the mean of that month's daily average prices. Individual days can sit far above and below the bar.

Sources and method
Every number on this page comes from an open source. Nothing is processed beyond the daily and monthly means we compute ourselves.
- Svenska kraftnät's Kontrollrummet — Production by type, consumption and net export, measured every fifteen minutes.
- Nord Pool urgent market messages (UMM) — Reactor status, planned outages and unplanned trips, plus other production out of service.
- elprisetjustnu.se — Nord Pool day-ahead prices per price area, as daily and monthly means excluding VAT.
- SMHI open data — Daily mean temperature from one weather station per price area, aggregated to monthly means.
Updates. Data is fetched twice a day and appears when the site is next rebuilt. The times at the top show when we last read each source, not when the readings were taken. If a source has not answered for more than 36 hours, the affected part of the page says so. And if a source stops publishing new readings — as Svenska kraftnät does from time to time — the last known figures are shown along with the time they were measured.
Named plants. Named plants are shown for nuclear power only, because the nuclear operators publish reactor status themselves. All other production is reported summed and unnamed, as the terms for Nord Pool's urgent market messages require.
Frequently asked questions
- Why does the price differ between SE1 and SE4?
- Sweden is split into four price areas. Hydro power and much of the wind power sit in the north, while most consumption is in the south. The transmission grid can only move so much power southwards, and when it reaches that limit each area gets its own price.
- Why does nuclear power matter for prices in SE3 and SE4?
- All six reactors are in SE3, and they cover a large share of production in southern Sweden. When a reactor is offline the power has to come from somewhere else — from hydro in the north through a grid with limited capacity, or from imports. That is why the gap between northern and southern prices often widens during the autumn outage season.
- Why does the price follow the temperature?
- A large share of Swedish consumption is heating. When it gets cold, consumption rises and the most expensive production has to run to cover it. The relationship is clearest as monthly means: a single day is driven just as much by wind and by what happens in the neighbouring countries.
- Do the prices on this page include VAT?
- No. By default the spot price is shown excluding VAT, the same way the exchange quotes it. The incl. VAT button adds 25 percent. Energy tax, the supplier's markup and the grid fee are not part of any number on this page.
