130TWh is the final electricity consumption, not the generation. Since Sweden is a big net exporter of electricity, there is a big difference
I’m not sure what macrotrends refers to by “Fossil fuel consumption”, but it’s pobably referring to raw energy rather than electricity (which doesnt consider conversion efficiency)
In reality, sweden uses almost no fossil fuels in its electricity mix, and that is in large part due to nuclear
KWh and KW, not KW and KW/h
In your calculations you failed to account for capacity factors. Wind plants have average capacity factors of about 42% in sweden, so the capacity would need to be over double the consumption, even ignoring the variability of consumption and production
Nevertheless, I do agree that Sweden doesn’t need more nuclear. It already generates some of the cleanest electricity in the world and I’d imagine fossil fuels are really only used for peak load.

Thank you for the corrections!
