The national grid
Via the national grid, electricity is transported from big power plants to all local and regional networks in Sweden. National grid lines are the highways of the electrical system.

Weather is important for electricity balance
The weather affects the production of hydro and wind turbines. It also has great significance for how much electricity is consumed. It is a challenge because there must be a balance in the electrical system even on cold and windless winter days.
