Grid development
We are expanding the Swedish national grid to transport electricity from new wind power, alleviate limitations in the grid and to meet society's demands for a secure electricity supply.
Öresund cables
Svenska kraftnät is planning to replace the southern of the two submarine cabled between Sweden and Denmark. The connection is reaching its technical lifetime and is important for the electricity supply in both Sweden and Denmark.
Hansa PowerBridge
We are planning the new power connection Hansa PowerBridge between Hurva station in Hörby municipality and Northern Germany. The strong link between Scandinavia and Germany supports a more climate-friendly European power generation while securing the electricity supply in Southern Sweden.
NordSyd
NordSyd – powerful reinforcements between electricity price areas 2 and 3. The boundary between electricity price areas 2 and 3, what is known as intersection 2, will be renewed and reinforced over the next 20 or so years thanks to powerful investments.
Ekhyddan – Nybro
We are planning a new overhead line between Ekhyddan in Oskarshamn municipality and Nybro in Nybro municipality. The new overhead line will contribute to creating a more reliable power grid, both on a regional and national level.
Nybro – Hemsjö
We are planning a new overhead line between Nybro in Nybro municipality and Hemsjö in Olofströms municipality. The new overhead will contribute to creating a more reliable power grid, both on a regional and national level.
NordBalt
We strengthen the connection between the Nordic and Baltic electricity market with an electricity connection to Lithuania
Skogssäter – Stenkullen
We are planning a new line between Skogssäter in Trollhättan municipality and Stenkullen in Lerum municipality in order to ensure the electricity supply in Western Götaland
The SouthWest Link
Our biggest investment ever that extends from Närke to Skåne. With the link in full operation, the capacity to transmit electricity from central to southern Sweden is expected to increase by up to 25 percent.
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.

Operations and the marketWeather 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.
