Sweden isn't exporting electricity for free. The money is there - it just needs to be redistributed from companies to the people.

Or the very least, be used to build new energy infrastructure and generation.

Especially since the Swedish power company - Vattenfall, is 100% owned by the Swedish state.

I'd say other countries should take note. But privatization of infrastructure assets is a lie that has been sold to millions across the world

Vattenfall is not the only Swedish producer. Not even the biggest one!

You mean Svenska Kraftnät (SVK) instead of Vattenfall, they're the ones making money from electricity distribution. Vattenfall is an electricity producer, it's not responsible for distribution. SVK is 100% owned by the state.

That sounds strange, when there's a shortage of power, don't the higher electricity prices go mostly to the energy producers, in order to create incentive to increase production and start up more expensive generation forms?

That's true but the poster you replied to was talking about distribution so I assumed that was what you were talking about as well.
