Svk Så Säkrar Elförsörjningen Södra Sverige (2026)

Svenska kraftnät web page on securing the electricity supply in southern Sweden — confirms the post-2024 status of the Malmö-area 400 kV renewals and outlines the longer-horizon three-package southern Sweden strategy (incl. “Skåne Syd”).

Key findings

• Three Malmö-area 400 kV line renewals complete: Hurva–Sege (2021), Barsebäck–Sege (2023), Söderåsen–Barsebäck (2024) — Svk states the capacity constraints to Malmö are “långsiktigt hanterade” (handled over the long term); the transmission network is assessed as not limiting for increased withdrawals over the coming ten years
• SydVästlänken (HVDC, operational July 2021) (commissioned 27 July 2021) increased transfer capacity to southern Sweden and eliminated the previous bottleneck between SE3 and SE4
• Long-term strategy to 2045: Svk’s board approved (2024) a direction consisting of three action packages; the full buildout adds over 1,000 MW of secure capacity to the region — described as twice the Malmö metropolitan area’s consumption; projects planned mainly for 2036–2045. “Skåne Syd” is one of the named action packages (the page only links to it; its own content is not on this page)
• East-coast reinforcement also planned: new 400 kV lines Ekhyddan–Nybro and from Nybro on to Hemsjö, further increasing transfer capacity to southern Sweden

Relevance to existing wiki topics

• Congestion Management — confirms and quantifies the “market closure dynamic” pattern (grid reinforcement resolving the underlying constraint that a flexibility market was bridging) specifically for Södra Skåne, and gives the next capacity horizon
• Svenska kraftnät — the 2024 three-package strategy (incl. Skåne Syd) as part of Svk’s longer-term southern Sweden investment plan
