I don't understand, surely the southern grid is stabilized by interconnections to europe? I thought closing reactors would be independent of transmission. What am I missing?

I think it's a genuine comment, their others seem to be.

Fact: transmission lines are the bottlenecks of EU energy markets.

They are separate grids: not synchronous, not stabilising each other. Most of the interconnections are HVDC links. Wikipedia has an article on synchronous grids of Northern Europe.

The decommissioning of several large generating stations in southern Sweden has indeed affected the effective transmission capacity from the north.

Can you explain this in more detail.
