SOUTHERN? Sweden? We have the worst electric prices within Sweden. (Malmö at least), the connections to the north where there is a lot of power generation is really weak and they shut down nearly all the power plants in the region, so we are stuck importing expensive energy.

My building has solar on the roof and a collective agreement with e.on precisely to try to control the insane costs.

Prices were high two years ago, but that is no longer the case. A lot of solar power came online last year. Currently the price is negative:

And then locals dont want wind power.
In Finland locals started wanting wind power when it became clear a wind power park can bring considerable tax income for a small municipality.
