- Gwypaas 4y agoLoads of hydro [1], the energy mix in Sweden is usually 45-50% hydro depending on the year. Sweden currently has extremely chaotic electricity prices. Whenever the export capacity is maxed out the prices drops to €10-30/MWh and then instantly recovers to the gas based prices of Europe when it's not. With the recent chaos at the French nuclear plants Sweden became the largest exporter of electricity in the EU.
