The Swedish electricity market is undergoing major changes. Expectations are being ex pressed from many quarters that demand for electricity will grow significantly in the coming decades. At the same time as demand is growing, the expansion of electricity from solar and wind power has increased in recent times and the electricity system is changing its composi tion with regard to different power sources. With this, the electricity system is also changing.
In recent years, electricity consumers have been faced with a more volatile price of electricity, which also varies in price per kilowatt-hour between electricity areas in the country. The varia tions are due to demand and supply in the power system in different electricity areas, and the issue of expanding electricity production therefore affects both businesses and households that are buyers of electricity.
