All newsEuropean TSOs launch Eurobar Initiative for Standardised Offshore Grids
Seven European transmission system operators have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the launch of Eurobar, an initiative for interconnecting offshore wind platforms across Europe. The aim of Eurobar is to efficiently and securely integrate offshore wind power into the European power grid, starting from current regulation and projects (e.g. point-to-point connections) and prospectively evolving to an interlinked offshore network or “busbar alike system”.
Procurement of automatic Frequency Restoration Reserve (aFRR) in Q2/2021 (weeks 14-26)
The Nordic TSOs have decided to keep the current aFRR procurement of 104 hours per week in Q2/2021. The total volume will be varied with approximately 300 MW in most hours and approximately 400 MW in morning hours during weekdays.
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.
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.
Ingelkärr – Stenkullen
We are planning a new line between Ingelkärr in Ale municipality and Stenkullen in Lerum municipality in order to ensure the electricity supply in Western Götaland.
The South West 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.
Storfinnforsen – Midskog
We plan to rebuild the world's oldest 400 kV line between Storfinnforsen and Midskog in order to receive electricity from new wind farms in the area.
Långbjörn – Storfinnforsen
We are planning a new AC line between Långbjörn and Storfinnsforsen to reinforce the grid in Sollefteå Municipality.
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 market
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.

The control room
Look into our control room
In the control we control and monitor the country's electrical system around the clock and ensure that there is always a balance between production and consumption of electricity in Sweden. You will find general information about the current production and operation situation here.
