Svk Månadsrapport Balansmarknader Maj 2026

Summary

Svk’s monthly balancing-market price and volume report for May 2026, one of the series behind Swedish Balancing Market Prices and Volumes (which until now carried only a May spot check). Prices are straight monthly means unless stated (FCR: volume-weighted). The figures below are from the summary page (p. 2), the zone bar charts (pp. 8, 12, which also show March and April), the EAM spread chart (p. 16) and the commentary on pp. 9–21. The report repeats that FCR moved to the Nordic MMS platform on 14 April 2026.

Key figures — May 2026

FCR capacity prices (monthly mean, EUR/MW): FCR-N 22.0; FCR-D upp 4.2; FCR-D ned 3.2. All three rose slightly versus April and were below May 2025.

aFRR CM prices (monthly mean, EUR/MW):

Both directions fell in every zone versus April and were below May 2025 in every zone. aFRR up was similar in SE2–SE4 and somewhat lower in SE1; the highest hourly price was 75 EUR/MW in SE4 (SE1–SE3: 22–32.5). aFRR down was similar across zones, lowest in SE4. The share of Sweden’s aFRR requirement called in Sweden fell to 48% (down) and 1% (up). Finland had the largest share of called volume in both directions; SE4 again had no down calls, and up calls in Sweden were close to zero.

mFRR CM prices (monthly mean, EUR/MW):

mFRR up rose in every zone versus April; mFRR down fell in SE1 and rose in SE2–SE4. All zones were below May 2025. Hourly prices converged across zones, with several hours at the same price in the whole country; SE4 stayed slightly higher for mFRR up. Hourly mFRR down peaked at 52 EUR/MW in SE1 and 43 in SE2–SE4. The share of Sweden’s mFRR CM requirement called in Sweden was 91% for up (level with April) and 96% for down (slightly lower).

mFRR EAM spread over spot (monthly mean, EUR/MWh):

The up spread rose in SE4 and held level elsewhere; the down spread narrowed slightly in SE3–SE4 and held level in SE1–SE2. Against May 2025 the down spread fell slightly in every zone and the up spread fell in SE2–SE4 (level in SE1). In SE1–SE4, activated volumes held level for mFRR up and fell for mFRR down. Hydro production was level with April and higher than in May 2025.
