Key takeaways from this episode:
Like the UK, the Swedish government are also reconsidering zonal pricing. In this video, Tom Williams and Henrik Dahlström explore what this means for Sweden and the different proposals they face.
Sweden are facing difficulties with their pricing zones where demand remains in the expensive South with generation in the North. Introducing the four zones aimed to solve this problem. As little has changed, the government are engaging with the idea of reforming the zones, even considering reverting to one national zone like in the UK.
The pair agree that these reforms, however, will need to see a great deal of investment into the transmission network for success.
