Sweden's national grid operator, Svenska Kraftnat, announced a significant investment boost, allocating 70 billion Swedish crowns for grid enhancements from 2027 to 2029. This ambitious plan marks a 14 billion crown increase over last year’s projections.
The substantial allocation aims to elevate transmission capacity across the main grid and replace parts approaching their technical lifespan. In particular, investment efforts will be concentrated in southern Sweden's electricity area (SE4), Stockholm, and along the Norrland coast.
Furthermore, the NordSyd initiative is set to receive funding, enhancing capacity between bidding areas SE2 and SE3 by 800 MW by 2029, facilitating better power distribution between northern and southern regions of Sweden.
