Sweden has 168 power plants in this atlas, with 26,419 MW of reported capacity. The largest listed plant is Ringhals (3,932 MW, nuclear; current status unverified). By number of records the most common technologies are hydro, wind and biomass. Grid operators listed here include Svenska kraftnät. Electricity is regulated by Ei. Renewables supplied 69.4% of its electricity in 2024.
Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
Grid operators and electricity market in Sweden
Liberalised marketCompetitive generation and retail
Hydro, nuclear and wind supply almost all power. Sweden is split into four price zones traded through Nord Pool.
Part of the Nordic synchronous area shared by Norway, Sweden, Finland and eastern Denmark, with a common power exchange across the region.
What does “Liberalised market” mean?
Generators sell into a wholesale market, an independent operator runs the transmission grid, and households can choose their electricity supplier. Networks stay regulated monopolies because building parallel power lines makes no sense.
