The control room
In the control room 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.
Please note that the data presented on this page may not be fully accurate or up to date in real time. The information is compiled by Statnett based on data received from various transmission system operators. Therefore, Svenska kraftnät cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information. Any questions regarding the data should be directed to the relevant transmission system operator.
The APIs behind the data flows presented on this page are not publicly accessible. If you are looking for open APIs from Svenska kraftnät, please visit the Svenska kraftnät Data Service Opens in a new window.
The flow of electricity
Please note the time period shown for price and flow, which is displayed below the map.
In real time, and up to about one hour back, price and flow are not shown for the same quarter-hour. This is because flow data is delayed.
Prices and flows are shown in 15-minute intervals. The price is stated in euros per megawatt-hour (MWh) and is set on the Nordic power exchange the day before the operating day. The price does not include the cost of electricity certificates, mark-ups, energy tax, VAT, or grid fees.
You can move around the map and zoom in and out.
Production
In the charts, you can see production in Sweden and in neighbouring countries with which we share information. The data is based on forecasts from market participants rather than actual production.
Forecasts are submitted at different times in different countries. This means the summary under the Total tab is not complete for the most recent two hours.
Please note: Since 8 May at 8:00 a.m., data has been imported using a new method. This improves reliability and allows updates at 15-minute intervals. As a result, historical chart data may look different and may be less complete.
Due to issues transferring data between systems and platforms, Swedish data is missing from 29 May to 1 June.
Consumption in Sweden
Sweden is divided into four bidding areas. Under the tabs in the table you can see the forecast and consumption for each bidding area.
Electricity suppliers’ balance providers make predictions of how much electricity will be consumed by the hour. Sometimes, but not always, projections correspond to actual consumption. Each hour we calculate if there is a power shortage risk. The data displayed on this page can not be downloaded.
You can download the statistics we produce on the statistics page.
Solar power
The graph is based on production plans and shows the expected solar power production per hour in the country’s different electricity price areas. The data is provided by balance responsible parties in the electricity market and covers solar power production sold through the day-ahead and intraday markets.
Since the forecasts are submitted at short notice and are not based on measurements, minor discrepancies may occur when the data from different actors is compiled.
The electricity shown in the graph comes from solar power plants or from surplus production from privately owned solar panel systems that has been sold to the grid. Self-produced solar power that is used directly within a property, such as electricity from rooftop solar panels that is not sold to the grid, is not included in the graph.
As the data is based on planned production values submitted by balance responsible parties, and not on actual measurements, the information presented reflects what the actors themselves have reported to Svenska kraftnät.
If the graph shows solar power production during the night or in winter, when the sun is not shining, this is due to such values having been reported by one or more actors.
Balance
In order for the electricity system to work, there must always be a balance between production and consumption of electricity and a voltage frequency of 50 Hz.
Measuring the frequency of the network is like checking the blood pressure. The frequency should always be 50 Hz. Then there is a balance between production and consumption and the electric system is healthy.
If the consumption is higher than the production, the frequency will sink. If production is higher than consumption the frequency will rise. The balance is regulated both automatically and manually by increase or decrease of production or decrease of consumption.
