Such an electricity surplus would help to reduce the impact of Europe’s electricity prices on Sweden. At the same time, there is a risk that the situation in the electricity market will worsen. A cold, prolonged winter would lead to extreme prices and possibly manual disconnection of consumers.
What would happen if Sweden saved 5 per cent of electricity?

What is the Swedish electricity system?
The Swedish electricity system is part of the integrated European electricity system via high-voltage transmission connections with our Nordic neighbours as well as Lithuania, Poland and Germany.
Does Sweden have a stable electricity supply?
Sweden appears to have a fairly stable electricity supply as all domestic electricity consumption is covered by dispatchable electricity generation. However, this picture needs to be modulated. Most of the high-voltage transmission capacity runs from north to south; see Figure 1.
