have you ever been in Sweden? it is a a rocky mountainous and mostly dark region. they only renewables that they can easily manage is geothermal and iirc they do not have the correct crust for it
According to another comment they have plenty of renewables up in the north but only use about 30% of that capacity. So it seems the main issue is with the transmission network for the country, its ability to get power from one place to another.
Instead of investing in 20 year nuclear power plant plans, they should be looking at accessing and expanding the available renewable generation in the short term.
the wind mills would be in inaccessible areas so you are better to just go with nuclear and invest in transmission from settlement to settlement instead to the turbines
Wind power works pretty well in Sweden, in fact around 15% of all electricity is produced by wind.
Hydro works extremely well, Hydro is hard to expand due to the environmental impacts of surrounding land.
Btw the majority of Sweden is not that mountainous.
It’s not a very flat country but it’s not like there are mountains everywhere. Most of the mountains are in places people don’t live.
