World Potential (SWEDEN)

Planning, Operation, and Power Exchange

The transmission network described above, consisting of 220 and 400 kV lines, is planned and operated by the National Grid. Already in 1915 an interconnection between the Swedish and Danish networks was commissioned. Over the years this cooperation has been strengthened and extended also to Norway, Finland and Germany. Cooperation is especially advantageous because of the different power mix in the different countries. Thus, Norway is 100% hydro, Denmark 100% thermal, whereas Sweden and Finland have a mix of predominantly hydro and thermal.
