I have gathered from replies here in the thread and general inquiries that about half had their own stove and since prices have been vanishingly low before many have LVVP or ground source heat pumps but not so much district heating.
Far up north it is -30 degrees and there has been some sweating in the cottages when prices are no longer a few öre/kWh for understandable reasons.
I suspect that it is mostly in SE4 that people have energy-efficiency measures the hardest and then probably Stockholm?
Where I live many have air-to-air pumps and direct electric heating and those who don’t have that use district heating.

Regulating power in SE4 would not be so bad, apparently there is some plant going to Vietnam.
You feel quite strongly that the first thing a new government would have done was to repeal everything and save what can be saved but they continue and let decisions stand.
I find it very strange.

It got a bit warmer so electricity consumption decreased and then prices fell – good for us in the electricity underclass.
However, I now look daily at production in SE3 and note that when nuclear power goes up, then hydropower goes down.
Hydropower is regulating power so why does production go down when prices are still enormously higher than 2-3 years ago?
Is it that the state’s regulating power is gone so now hydropower can adjust prices a bit as they want or did they go up just to cover the nuclear power loss?

Right now one can only conclude that if SE3 did not export to SE4, but SE2 continued to export to SE3 then prices here would be comfortable.
