The thing that annoys me in this type of articles is the lack of understanding how electricity prices are made in Europe. Just because you make green energy doesn’t mean you have cheap energy.
Sweden has lots of problems…
Okey, there seems to be a lot of misunderstandings here or just wrongful perspective. Note that although I am a swede and have been for my whole life. EU’s electrical grid has never been a topic I have addressed or even feel properly experienced for. But I do know that it is very complex.
As I understand it, Almost all of Sweden’s energy comes from the north, and north Sweden can easily send/sell the energy further on to the rest of Europe feasibly easy.
But we don’t have enough infrastructure to as easily send the energy to south Sweden as to , and that causes a problem… espcially when other countries(like Germany) are willing to pay a lot more than Swedes are… hence why the price for Swedes also increas. Cause if u think realistically from a mega corporations POV ofcource they will sell it to the highest bidder, doesn’t matter if its from their origin country or not.
Also EU has some sort of politics, that in every country has to have 70% of their energy production available for other member states for some reason?
I am probably wrong about a few things, please correct me

These social stores are still more expensive than food almost anywhere else in Europe
I wonder why you get social and financial issues when trying to become mini USA.
