SWEDISH POWER POLICY

Thanks to an abundance of rivers and streams suitable for hydro-electric power 
plants, Sweden became the first fully electrified country in Europe. Traditionally, 
the supply of power is handled by private and municipal companies as well as by 
The State Power Board (Vattenfall). Today this organisation delivers nearly half of 
the total output, while private and municipal companies supply the remainder.

Present installations (January 1982) comprise 14 860 MW hydro-electric power and
14370 MW thermal power. Nine nuclear units with a total capacity of 6425 MW are 
in commercial operation. Another unit, 915 MW, will come into operation in the end 
of 1982. Further two more units of 2120 MW in all are under construction and will be 
ready for operation in the middle of the 80ies. Sweden will then have a nuclear 
power generating capacity of 9450 MW. According to a resolution by the Parliament 
in 1980 no more nuclear power plants will be built in Sweden.

The total hydro-electric power that can be exploited with reasonable economic yield 
in Sweden has been estimated at about 95 TWh. However, official policy limits any 
further growth in exploitation to 66 TWh. A major consideration in this context is the 
special protection being accorded to the unique natural beauty and recreational 
resources along the rivers of northern Sweden, where the main waterfalls are found.
