Sweden electricity prices today
Sweden has four bidding zones. A national average hides the thing that matters: SE1 and SE2 are often cheap, while SE3 and especially SE4 can separate when north–south transmission is tight.
Four prices, not one
SE1 (Luleå) and SE2 (Sundsvall) have hydro and less demand. SE3 includes Stockholm and most of the population. SE4, around Malmö, is the zone most exposed when power cannot move south.
Your contract follows one of these zones, not a Swedish average. Open the zone you actually pay.
Spotpris and the household
On a spot contract the hourly energy price is this auction. Grid fees, energy tax and VAT are extra, and a fixed energy price ignores the hour.
The cheap three-hour window is for a wash or a dishwasher. Heating and an EV need a longer look at the whole day, which the savings page does from today's shape.
Questions
+Which Swedish electricity price should I open?
The bidding zone on your bill: SE1, SE2, SE3 or SE4. SE3 covers Stockholm. SE4 is the south.
+Why is SE4 often higher than SE1?
Transmission from the hydro in the north to the demand in the south is limited. When that path is full, the southern price rises on its own.
+Are these prices in kronor?
No. NordShifts shows the euro auction price so the zones can be compared. Your bill may convert to kronor and then add taxes and the grid fee.
