Sweden has long since maxed out on its hydro capacity and hydro is at times the largest portion of domestic energy production. Generation capacity to match domestic base load is not a problem in Sweden.
As mentioned elsewhere in the comments, Sweden is consistently (except literally a few days a year) a net energy exporter, in a national sense they don't really need more production. The issue is regional production, which fell off a cliff due to russian gas supplies to Germany being shut off and them deciding to continue with planned decommissioning of domestic nuclear generation during that period.
