Most of Sweden's electricity supply comes from hydro and nuclear though. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Swedens-electricity-prod...
Hydro is maxed out basically everywhere already and nuclear is being shut down in Germany, it doesn't take a genius to see it can't work. We can't keep increasing our demand while killing the only large/cheap/on demand energy source to rely on intermittent ones. It might work if we decreased our consumption by a lot but this doesn't seem to be the plan

Sweden has 3.5x more hydro than wind energy (in TWh produced). Germany has 7x less hydro than wind. Sweden can easily use their large hydro reserves to balance out the fluctuations in wind power output.

They're not blaming on green energy. They're blaming it on utopian Energiewende pedalled by shortsighted anti nuclear Greens. We'll see how their eco hipster green foreign affairs secretary handles this Russian crisis.

Because bad planing, political sabotage and a whole lot of NIMBY.
