Swedish Energy Minister Khashayar Farmanbar warned that the power shortage in southern Sweden could lead to a strained situation this winter as the region’s energy crisis is only getting worse.
His latest comments come after Vattenfall AB said that a key reactor in the south would be offline until the end of November, more than two months longer than planned. The delay to the Ringhals reactor couldn’t come at a worse time with demand starting to increase again during autumn as it gets gradually colder and many homes still use electricity for heating.
