Sweden, Not France, Biggest Exporter Of Power In Europe

o

On Wednesday, Sweden reportedly overtook France as Europe’s largest net power exporter in the first half of 2022, as deep-rooted problems reduced French nuclear availability to historic lows.

France has lost its position as Europe’s biggest exporter of electricity as the nation struggles with extended outages at its nuclear power fleet. France’s position has dramatically changed from a year ago as it needed to import more power than it exported during the first half of this year. Sweden, in contrast, rose to the top of the table, becoming the region’s biggest net exporter, with most of electricity flowing to Finland and Denmark.
