[fairtan]

Electricity companies in Sweden, as in many other countries, are responding to changes in spotpris el through a combination of strategic, operational and market measures. Electric utilities often adjust their production mix in response to changes in spot prices. During periods of high spot prices, companies can increase the use of more economical and efficient power plants. Conversely, during periods of lower spot prices, they may rely more on cheaper generation sources.
