Svenska kraftnät’s public assignment page describing the scope and methodology of the government-ordered analysis of Sweden’s bidding zone configuration. Not a results document — a mandate and status page published November 2025. The actual analysis report was originally due 29 May 2026, but the deadline was extended to 29 January 2027 (Regeringsbeslut KN2026/01206, 2026-05-28) with expanded scope — see Source - Ändring Uppdraget Svk Elområdesindelning (2026) and Bidding Areas.

Background

In May 2025, the Swedish government tasked Svk with analyzing the conditions for changing Sweden’s bidding zone division. The raw source does not explain why the government commissioned this analysis or connect it causally to the separate April 2025 EU-wide Bidding Zone Review — it only notes both exist, in a later section (see EU-wide review, below). Any claim about the EU review’s outcome for Sweden specifically, or about Svk’s own assessment of it, is not supported by this raw page.

The assignment scope is explicitly analytical, not prescriptive: it produces a decision basis (underlag) for the government, not a proposal for a new configuration. A formal zone reconfiguration would require more extensive follow-on analyses not in scope here.

Three alternatives under analysis

Svk is analyzing the conditions for three specific configurations:

AlternativeDescription
1 — Single national zoneOne common bidding zone for the whole country; eliminates all internal price differences
2 — Two zones at Snitt 2SE1+SE2 merged into one northern zone; SE3+SE4 merged into one southern zone; border at the current SE2–SE3 boundary
3 — ACER alternativeOne specific alternative among those ACER (the EU energy regulator) developed during the EU-wide review reported in April 2025 — the raw text specifies a single alternative (“ett av de alternativ”), not a range

Additionally, the assignment includes analyzing the possibility of special bidding zones for export (särskilda elområden för export) — the raw gives only this one sentence, with no further mechanism or detail on how such zones would function.

Analysis criteria

The analysis evaluates alternatives against five named criteria (the raw gives only the bare terms, with no further elaboration on any of them):

  1. Driftsäkerhet — operational security
  2. Försörjningstrygghet — security of supply
  3. Beräkning av kapacitet mellan elområden — cross-zone capacity calculation
  4. Marknadseffektivitet — market efficiency
  5. Elområdenas stabilitet och tillförlitlighet — zone stability and reliability

Price and financial market analysis

The raw states this in one sentence: the analysis will assess how each configuration affects Swedish and North European electricity prices, flaskhalsinkomster (congestion revenues), and the financial electricity market’s function — all relative to the counterfactual of keeping the current bidding-zone division (raw: “i förhållande till att nuvarande elområdesindelning kvarstår”). The raw gives no further detail on mechanism, and does not mention nätpaketet, hedging instruments, or forward capacity products — those are not in this source.

Analytical baseline

The analysis uses Svk’s long-term scenarios for Sweden and Northern Europe, covering 2030, 2035, and 2040 — with particular focus on 2035. The raw gives no reason for the 2035 emphasis. The scenarios are not named in this raw text; the LMA2024 link below is the wiki’s inference (Svk’s standard long-term scenario product), not something this page’s raw source states.

Deadline

29 May 2026 (as originally set) — Svk delivers the analysis to Regeringskansliet (Klimat- och näringslivsdepartementet). This deadline was subsequently extended to 29 January 2027, with expanded scope (Art. 14.7 structural congestion report, holistic 5–10 year recommendation, action plan toward 2 areas), per Regeringsbeslut KN2026/01206 (2026-05-28) — see Source - Ändring Uppdraget Svk Elområdesindelning (2026).

As of the clipping’s publication date (November 2025), Svk held a webinar on analysis status (5 November 2025) with Q&A. The presentation and Q&A are ingested separately as Source - Svk Aktörsmöte Elområdesanalys (2025-11-05).
