Correction: Northern Sweden has the right terrain for it. And there's a limit to how much hydro that can be built there, and it's close to built out already.

Which actually makes Nuclear a great idea.

Take the hydro which is currently doing baseload, convert as much capacity as possible to peak loads. And replace the lost baseload with new Nuclear.

That way you can unlock even more capacity for more solar and wind (well... that far north, it will be mostly wind)
