Measures resulting in the electricity market becoming more technology-neutral would lead to cheaper electricity in Sweden and reduce the risk of power outages, according to researchers Pär Holmberg and Thomas Tangerås in a new SNS report in which they offer several suggestions for improving the market.

The system meant to safeguard essential functions in society in the event of electricity shortages exhibits several weaknesses. There is a need to review the planning and improve the exchange of information, according to two researchers in a new SNS report.- Research report Environment, Climate and Energy
Analyzing Prices and Regulations in the Swedish Electricity Network Market: What Can We Learn from Our Neighboring countries?
Electricity distribution network prices have increased more in Sweden than in our Nordic neighbors. In these countries, there are also stricter requirements in terms of distribution system operators (DSOs) making continuous efficiency improvements. Hence, there are signs that Swedish electricity network regulations do not work satisfactorily, according to researchers Erik Lundin and Magnus Söderberg in a new SNS report. - Research report Environment, Climate and Energy
Carbon leakage or competitive advantage? Balancing industrial and climate policy
So far, Swedish environmental requirements have not resulted in Swedish industries to a great extent moving their production and emissions abroad. This is partly due to the low cost of CO2 emissions for companies and the availability of clean and cheap electricity. However, the situation may change as prices are now increasing, which has an impact on future climate and industrial policies, according to researchers Shon Ferguson, Rikard Forslid and Mark Sanctuary in a new SNS report. - Research report Environment, Climate and Energy
Electricity Shortages in Major Swedish Cities – A Market Perspective
A lack of capacity in the electricity grid leads to growing regional imbalances in the electricity supply, whereas expanding the grid takes time. However, the problem of local electricity shortages could be reduced by the market if the Swedish bidding zones are redesigned, according to researchers Pär Holmberg and Thomas Tangerås in a new SNS report. - Seminar Environment, Climate and Energy
