Published by: The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA), 2016 Box 5073, SE-102 42 Stockholm, Sweden Tel. +46 (0)8 791 29 00 IVA REPORTS: IVA publishes various types of reports within the framework of its activities. All reports are fact-checked by experts and then approved for publi- cation by IVA’s President. PROJECT REPORTS (IVA-M): A project report summarises a significant portion of a project. A project report can be a report generated during the course of a project or a final report produced at the end. A final report can be based on several project reports. Project reports contain fact-based analysis, observa- tions and a discussion of consequences. Final reports contain clear conclusions and prioritised policy recommendations. Project reports are often the result of the work of a work group and contain limited conclusions and policy recom- mendations. The project Steering Committee approves all project reports for publication and they are fact-checked by IVA to guarantee their factual accu- racy and quality.

The project has performed analysis to explore what the Nordic electricity system will look like in the period 2030 to 2050, with a focus on Sweden, to show the consequences of different paths in energy policy from the four perspectives: Ecological Sustainablity, Competitiveness, Investment Climate, Secure Supply. The vision is a sustainable electricity system that will provide a secure supply of energy at a competitive cost. Over the course of the project, several changes have taken place in the electricity market. Vattenfall and E.ON have, for example, decided to close four nuclear reactors – two in Ringhals and two in Oskarshamn. They have also announced that the six remaining reactors may be closed by 2020 due to poor profitability. Together the reactors account for around 40 percent of Swedish electricity production. Not long after the start of the project the Government appointed an Energy Commission. Electricity Crossroads has had a close dialogue with the politicians involved in the Energy Commission throughout the course of the project and has provided project results and conclusions on a regular basis to the Energy Commission’s administrative office as well as to members of the Commission. The project work has been carried out by a Steering Committee and five work groups the members of which have examined the electricity market from various perspectives. The groups are: • The Electricity Usage work group • The Electricity Production work group • The Transmission and Distribution work group • The Climate and Environment work group • The Public Finances and Electricity Market work group • The Steering Committee for the project as a whole and responsible for this synthesis report. The work groups have each prepared a project report within their respective areas providing in-depth analysis and summarising the most important observations made. A number of special studies were also conducted. The project reports and special studies are listed in Appendix 2. To supplement the above, a separate analysis was conducted by the NEPP (North European Power Perspectives) network of researchers, aided by various model simulations of the electricity market. The synthesis report is based on the project reports, but also contains separate information and analysis as well as conclusions and recommendations. The Electricity Crossroads Steering Committee is responsible for these. All members of the Steering Committee stand behind the conclusions and recommendations as a whole but not necessarily each individual statement. Steering Committee Bo Normark, IVA Div.

  • Network Development Plan 2016 – 2025
    NOVEMBER 2015 NETWORK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2016 – 2025 A Ten-Year Plan for the Swedish National Grid. SVENSKA KRAFTNÄT Our society is dependent on electricity. Svenska kraftnät is responsible for ensuring that Sweden has a safe, environmentally sound and cost-effective transmission system for electricity – today and in the future. We achieve this in the short term by monitoring the electrical system around the clock, and in the long term by building new power lines to meet tomorrow’s electricity needs. Cover photo Tomas Ärlemo Org. Nr 202100-4284 SVENSKA KRAFTNÄT Box 1200 172 24 Sundbyberg Sweden Sturegatan 1 Tel +46 10-475 80 00 Fax +46 10-475 89 50 www.svk.se/en PREFACE The board of Svenska kraftnät decided in April 2013 on a long-term plan document for the development of the Swedish National Grid. Long-term plan 2025 described the challenges for Svenska kraftnät in the 10 to 15 years term. The purpose was, among other things, to increase the transparency of Svenska kraftnät’s planning and to provide an opportunity for the various stakeholders in the electricity market to influence it. Until then, the national network planning mainly consisted of the three-year investment and financing plans that Svenska kraftnät annually provide to the Government. These plans are, however, primarily a description of how investments already decided are expected to turn out over the next three financial years. They do not give an account of the Administration’s long-term priorities and the grounds for them. A certain network planning is conducted also at Nordic level in order to identify grid reinforcements with specific benefit for the whole of the Nordic electricity market.

  • Swedish Nuclear Power Policy
    The Research Project Energy Opinion in Sweden Department of Political Science University of Gothenburg Per Hedberg Sören Holmberg April 2008 Swedish Nuclear Power Policy A Compilation of Public Record Material History Nuclear Power “In Sweden, nuclear technology started in 1947, when AB Atomenergi was constituted to carry out a development programme decided by the Parliament. As a result, the first research reactor went critical in 1954. This was followed by the first prototype nuclear power plant (PHWR) Ågesta located to a rock cavern in a suburb of Stockholm. The Ågesta reactor was mainly used for district heating and operated from 1964 until 1974, when it was permanently shut down. The first commercial nuclear power plant Oskarshamn 1 was commissioned in 1972 and was followed by another eleven units sited at Barsebäck, Oskarshamn Ringhals and Forsmark in the time period up to 1985. The twelve commercial reactors constructed in Sweden comprise 9 BWRs (ASEA-ATOM design) and 3 PWRs (Westinghouse design). As a result of political decisions, the twin BWR units Barsebäck 1 and 2 were finally shut down in 1999 and 2005 respectively. In 2004, Studsvik Nuclear decided to permanently shut down the two research reactors (R2 and R2–0) at the Studsvik site. They were closed in June 2005. The decision was taken on economical grounds, the licences had recently been extended until 2014, subject to certain conditions. The reactors were mainly used for commercial materials testing purposes, isotope production, neutron source for research purposes, medical applications and higher education. They are currently under decommissioning.” (From DS 2007:30:11-12) “Nuclear policy was the major domestic policy issue during the mid and late1970s.

  • Radioactive Waste Management Programmes In
    RADIOACTIVE WASTE AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMES IN OECD/NEA MEMBER COUNTRIES SWEDEN [2010] NATIONAL NUCLEAR ENERGY CONTEXT Commercial utilisation of nuclear power in Sweden started in 1972 and as of 2010 ten nuclear power units supply electricity to the grid. In 2008, nuclear power generated 61,3 TWh of electricity, 42% of the total electricity generated in Sweden. Electricity supply by sources 2008 (158,7 TWh) (Source: Statistics Sweden) SOURCES, TYPES AND QUANTITIES OF WASTE Nuclear waste in arises from 12 commercial nuclear power plants at Barsebäck1, Forsmark, Oskarshamn and Ringhals and from research activities, mainly from Studsvik. Other radioactive wastes, so called small user waste, arise from a number of facilities using radioisotopes in medical, research and industrial applications. The long-term planning for the waste management programme is based on a reference scenario where the reactors in Ringhals and Forsmark are assumed to have an operating time of 50 years and OKG’s reactors 60 years. The quantity of spent fuel to be disposed of amounts to about 12,000 tonnes of uranium (counted as uranium). The total volume of decommissioning waste for all nuclear power plants as well as from research and demonstration facilities is estimated to 160 000 m3. 1 The two units in Barsebäck were permanently shut down 1999 and 2005 1(5) The LILW programme is aimed at disposing of all the low- and intermediate-level operational and decommissioning waste from the Swedish nuclear power programme. The reference scenario gives rise to a total of about 212 000 m3 of short-lived waste and about 8 700 m3 of long-lived waste from the nuclear power plants.

Due to the increasing awareness of climate change, more renewable energy resources have been introduced in the Swedish electricity system. This is, however, not solely positive since renewable energy sources are often of intermittent character which entails more imbalances between supply and demand. In addition, statistics and data show that the deviation in the frequency in the Nordic system has increased during the latest years. Thus, in this thesis, the issues regarding the frequency have been addressed by examining the demand for frequency control in the Swedish electricity system and what balancing efforts that can be carried out on a local level to contribute to a better balanced system.

  • Prisbildning Och Konkurrens På Elmarknaden
    Prisbildning och konkurrens på elmarknaden ER 2006:13 Böcker och rapporter utgivna av Statens energimyndighet kan beställas från Energimyndighetens förlag. Orderfax: 016-544 22 59 e-post: [email protected] © Statens energimyndighet Upplaga: 200 ex ER 2006:13 ISSN 1403-1892 Förord På uppdrag av regeringen har Energimarknadsinspektionen vid Statens energimyndighet analyserat den svenska och nordiska elmarknadens funktionssätt med tonvikt på konkurrensen och prisbildningen. Den 1 januari 1996 reformerades den svenska elmarknaden. Konkurrens infördes i handel med och produktion av el medan nätverksamhet är ett reglerat monopol. Prisutvecklingen på den svenska och nordiska elmarknaden under de senaste åren har föranlett en diskussion om hur väl elmarknaden fungerar. Bland annat har lönsamheten bland elmarknadens aktörer och effektiviteten i prisbildningen på råkraftsmarknaden ifrågasatts. Rapporten belyser utvecklingen på den nordiska råkraftsmarknaden och söker förklara det senaste decenniets elprisökningar. Vidare behandlas konsekvenserna för slutkunderna på den nordiska slutkundsmarknaden. Därefter analyseras konkurrensen på den nordiska elmarknaden. Inspektionen föreslår även ett antal åtgärder för att förbättra förutsättningarna för en väl fungerande konkurrens på elmarknaden. Även konkurrenssituationen på den svenska slutkundsmarknaden behandlas. I det nordiska elsystemet är det viktigt att begränsningar i överföringskapacitet hanteras på ett rationellt sätt. I rapporten analyseras några konsekvenser av att införa en delning av Sverige i så kallade elspotområden. Energimarknadsinspektionen har i arbetet med rapporten, och för att inhämta synpunkter, samarbetat med en referensgrupp bestående av företrädare från näringslivet samt representanter från andra berörda myndigheter och organisationer. Sammanfattning och slutsatser Den 1 januari 1996 reformerades den svenska elmarknaden. Konkurrens infördes i handel med och produktion av el medan nätverksamhet är ett reglerat monopol.

    Titel: Trygg elförsörjning i Skåne län – underlagsrapport Utgiven av: Länsstyrelsen Skåne Författare: Hannes Sonnsjö [email protected] Medförfattare: Tobias Gunneberg Sandra Johanne Selander Beställning: Länsstyrelsen Skåne Samhällsbyggnad 205 15 Malmö Telefon 010-224 10 00 Copyright: Länsstyrelsen Skåne Diarienummer: 31140-2020-1 ISBN: 978-91-7675-205-0 Rapportnummer: 2020:26 (version 1, 2020-09-07) Illustrationer och grafik: Christoffer Nielsen Tryckår: 2020 Förord Denna rapport utgör ett analysunderlag till den gemensamma slutrapport som länsstyrelserna lämnar till energi- och digitaliseringsminister Anders Ygeman den 7 september 2020. Vårt arbete tar sin utgångspunkt i hur vi kan planera vår elförsörjning bättre och vad som behövs för att i framtiden undvika fler situationer där nyetableringar riskerar att nekas eller utbyggnad av klimatsmart infrastruktur skjuts på framtiden. Vi kan konstatera att medvetenheten hos kommuner, näringsliv och elnätsbolag ökat under de månader som analysarbetet genomförts. Avgörande faktorer är god samverkan, ett breddat perspektiv och en förståelse för varandras roller och ansvar. När energilandskapet förändras uppstår naturligen konflikter. Det kan till exempel handla om att mindre aktörer vill åstadkomma något där regelverken inte är i takt med tiden eller att en etablerad aktörs affärsmodell inte längre är lika lönsam. Det är i mötet mellan det nya – det småskaliga som växer nerifrån och upp – och det etablerade – det storskaliga och centraliserade – som det blir tydligt att energilandskapet är i förändring. På kort sikt kommer billig sol och vindkraft under gynnsamma väderförhållanden att konkurrera ut dyrare, men ofta mer planerbara, alternativ. Då uppstår ett behov av att göra avvägningar mellan politiska mål, att beakta olika tidsperspektiv, att beräkna kostnader och att reda ut ansvarsförhållanden.

Het onderwerp van dit project was Europa en klimaatbeheersing, en daar gingen onze interesses wel naar uit waardoor we ook tot de beslissing zijn gekomen om aan dit project deel te nemen. Onze wereld, zoals we die kennen is aan het veranderen door het versnelde broeikaseffect. We wilden hier meer kennis over vergaren, en dat is ook gebeurd gedurende de verschillende studiedagen van het YES!-project. We hebben uiteindelijk ook besloten om ons voor ons profielwerkstuk te gaan verdiepen in energie in Europa. We vroegen ons namelijk af of de lidstaten wel de beoogde Europese doelstellingen zouden gaan halen. We hebben hier in ons profielwerkstuk naar gekeken, en daar ook veel over geleerd. Het maken van het profielwerkstuk is niet altijd even gemakkelijk geweest, want we liepen allebei tegen meerdere obstakels op. Het was namelijk niet heel gemakkelijk om alles uit te zoeken, en de stof ook daadwerkelijk te begrijpen. Bovendien hebben we ontdekt, dat de energiewereld eigenlijk volop in beweging is. Er gebeurt ontzettend veel op het gebied van energie, want er komen voortdurend nieuwe gegevens beschikbaar.

  • Nuclear Energy Outlook – 2008
    Nuclear Energy Outlook – 2008 This Nuclear Energy Outlook (NEO) is the first of its kind and Nuclear Energy Outlook – 2008 responds to the renewed interest in nuclear energy by many OECD member countries. World energy demand continues to grow unabated and is leading to very serious concerns about security of supply, soaring energy prices and climate change stemming from fossil fuel consumption. Nuclear energy is being increasingly seen as having a role to play in addressing these concerns. This Outlook uses the most current data and statistics available and provides projections up to 2050 to consider growth scenarios and potential implications on the future use of nuclear energy. It also offers unique analyses and recommendations on the possible challenges that lie ahead. NUCLEAR ENERGY OUTLOOK Topics covered by the NEO include nuclear power’s current status and projected trends, environmental impacts, uranium resources and security of supply, costs, safety and regulation, radioactive 2008 waste management and decommissioning, non-proliferation and security, legal frameworks, infrastructure, stakeholder engagement, advanced reactors and advanced fuel cycles. www.nea.fr (66 2008 08 1 P) € 105 -:HSTCQE=UZYVUX: ISBN 978-92-64-05410-3 NUCLEAR ENERGY AGENCY Erratum Nuclear Energy Outlook 2008 ISBN 978-92-64-05410-3 Page 278 Table 9.2: “Annex 2” states whose ratification is necessary for entry into force of the CTBT* State Ratification State Ratification Algeria 11 July 2003 Israel Argentina 04 Dec. 1998 Italy 01 Feb. 1999 Australia 09 July 1998 Japan 08 July 1997 Austria 13 March 1998 Korea 24 Sept. 1999 Bangladesh 08 March 2000 Mexico 05 Oct.
