Svenska kraftnät hereby publishes the auction schedule for the EPAD auctions during the third quarter of 2026, in line with its mandate to improve hedging possibilities in the financial electricity market. The EPAD auctions in Q3 2026 will be conducted on Tuesdays.
Svenska kraftnät offers recurring auctions according to predetermined quarterly schedules. A key aspect of this support to the financial electricity market is to operate with transparency and predictability.

In total, 280 MW will be auctioned across four occasions during Q3 2026. The auction volumes for monthly contracts will be adjusted downwards[1], while the volumes for quarterly and yearly contracts remain unchanged.

[1] The downward adjustment is due to planned maintenance in the transmission network and primarily affects the volumes for monthly and quarterly contracts, as such maintenance activities are typically carried out over shorter timeframes.
