Reactor 3 at the Oskarshamn nuclear power plant is Sweden’s largest reactor and accounts for approximately one third of Swedish nuclear electricity.
But starting next Friday, the reactor will be closed for repairs, which could lead to even higher electricity prices. This is the opinion of several experts that SVT has spoken to.
– When it gets colder and electricity use increases, every megawatt that disappears from production has a greater price effect, says electricity market expert Christian Holtz. How much higher the prices will be, however, is difficult to speculate on, he believes.
