– The situation is relatively acute, said Kristersson during a press conference on Friday. He pointed out that Sweden’s largest nuclear power reactor, Oskarshamn 3, is being taken out for maintenance for 10 days. Together, two Swedish nuclear power plants are reducing their capacity this weekend. During Friday’s press conference, it was announced that the risk of disconnection had now been adjusted from “low” to “real risk” of a disconnection from the power grid. He emphasizes that they do not want to cause panic among the Swedish population, but nevertheless clarifies that they are facing a big problem. Households and businesses in Sweden are therefore encouraged to save on electricity. – We have a significant concern with the Swedish electricity production right now. The situation for the power grid is simply strained. Power analyst Tor Reier Lilleholt in Volue Insight.

How high the price will be and how long it will last depends on the weather, writes E24. Power analyst Tor Reier Lilleholt in Volue Insight does not rule out a price jump of up to NOK 10 and 20 per kilowatt hour over the weekend. – This is very weather dependent. Consumption will drop significantly at the weekend, but the temperature will drop significantly next week. From Monday to Wednesday it is quite busy. Then, with less nuclear power available, it can become a challenge, he says to news. The power analyst is currently not worried about power prices this weekend. – It is between Monday and Wednesday that we believe there can be quite large results and single lessons with very high prices. Then we can talk about NOK 10 and 20 per kilowatt hour, says Lilleholt. He estimates that it will be difficult when it starts to drop below minus ten. – That can affect an average price quite significantly. But for now, the forecasts are around four kroner in southern Norway these days, he says. The weather still decides Tor Reier Lilleholt explains that Sweden is dependent on imports from Norway in this situation. – If Norway is in the same situation and does not have extra power available, prices will rise similarly to what is seen in Sweden. – It is still the weather that determines how it will turn out. But certain hours it can get very loud, uncontrollably loud, the analyst notes. According to yr.no, temperatures in Oslo will drop to minus 10 and 11 degrees on Tuesday and Wednesday.
