    So you want Sweden to suboptimize it’s energy grid so that Germany doesn’t have to take responsibility for their own electricity needs? It’s not the solution to this problem.

    And, as others are saying: there are other projects in the north of Sweden aiming to use that energy.

      No, you are right. I want Europe to have a resilient grid. I assume Germany would even pay for most of the costs of the transmission infrastructure, given that they consume a lot. I think in a mixture of storage and grid expansion, optimising for grid stability is important. Sweden might want to have a plan for dark, dry, coldrums as well.

        Had it only been Sweden, as before the eu-directive changed the order of things, the grid would have been more sufficient.

        There are no lack of issues in the Swedish grid, but they are compounded by the fact that right now it tries to solve the problem of insufficient grid infrastructure in Norway, Finland and lack of power production and electricity areas in Germany. Last year when the oil power plant had to be fired for 3 days, it was because of insufficiencoes in the polish network…

        In fact, by the look of it, the Swedish grid is the only grid in the area that actually works as it says on the can.
