(Tension in the System – How Do We Secure Our Future Electricity Supply?)

 

As electrification becomes a cornerstone of Sweden’s green transition, the importance of a reliable and robust electricity supply is growing rapidly. This episode breaks down the key takeaways from the Swedish Government Inquiry SOU 2025:47, which explores how to ensure future power security.

The Swedish Parliament has adopted a new planning goal: the electricity system must be capable of supporting at least 300 TWh of electricity demand by 2045. This is essential to meet the needs of electrification across industries and households, and to reach Sweden's climate goals.

In parallel, a delivery reliability target has been set. It states that electricity must be delivered where and when it's needed, in adequate amounts, and in an economically efficient manner.

Achieving this will require a massive expansion of power production capacity, grid infrastructure, energy storage, and enhanced flexibility. These developments are taking place in a context of increased system complexity, rapid technological advancement, more decentralized production and usage, and growing geopolitical uncertainty.

Join us as we unpack how Sweden is preparing its electricity system for a future shaped by climate ambition, innovation, and energy security.

Swedish Finansdepartementet, on Nov 14th 2024 held a public meeting on financing new nuclear power

During 2024 an investigator was assigned with proposing models for financing and risk-sharing to enable competitive market actors to build new nuclear reactors. The goal is to design a model that ensures at least 2,500 MW of new nuclear capacity—equivalent to two large-scale reactors—is operational by 2035.

As part of this task, the investigator is to examine and analyze financing and risk-sharing models used in other countries, with a focus on Europe. The proposals must comply with regulations on state aid and competition. Additionally, the investigator is to draft necessary legislative proposals.

On nov 14th 2024 the Swedish Finansdepartementet held a public meeting where 

• Tomas Kåberger, professor, Chalmers tekniska högskola
• Mia Bodin, analyschef, Bodecker partners AB
• Johan Torgeby, VD, SEB.

were asked to give their remarks on the proposal. This AI generated podcast was made from notes taken from the meeting.
