The Swedish electricity system is undergoing a transition unprecedented in both speed and scale, thereby exposing a number of policy-related controversies. In this study, six central themes in the on-going debates around the security of electricity supply in Sweden are identified based on a material of over 1000 news articles, published between the years 2010–2022. By applying the themes to the political debates within Parliament, the analysis suggests that security of electricity supply has been a neglected aspect of the energy trilemma and that recent years have seen a dramatic increase in this regard. This development is primarily driven by geopolitical concerns and a rapidly evolving energy landscape. The role of the market and its ability to provide incentives for long-term investments has become increasingly contested following the intense reporting on ‘price shocks’. ‘lack of grid capacity’ and the increased risk of ‘manual disconnections’. The paper therefore supports the claim that Sweden, in line with several other EU-countries, are showing signs of a ‘regulatory remedy’, after an era of liberalisation. The paper concludes with a number of policy dilemmas and conflicts of goals in relation to market integration (security of supply), technology neutrality (sustainability) and adequate price signals (competitiveness).

当我们谈论电力时我们在谈论什么：瑞典电力供应近期政治辩论的专题分析

瑞典电力系统正在经历速度和规模前所未有的转型，从而暴露出许多与政策相关的争议。在这项研究中，根据 2010 年至 2022 年期间发表的 1000 多篇新闻文章的材料，确定了围绕瑞典电力供应安全正在进行的辩论的六个中心主题。通过将这些主题应用于议会内部的政治辩论，分析表明电力供应安全一直是能源三难困境中被忽视的一个方面，并且近年来这方面的情况急剧增加。这一发展主要是由地缘政治问题和快速变化的能源格局推动的。在有关“价格冲击”的大量报道之后，市场的作用及其为长期投资提供激励的能力变得越来越有争议。 “电网容量不足”以及“手动断电”的风险增加。因此，该论文支持这样的说法，即瑞典与其他几个欧盟国家一样，在经历了自由化时代之后，正在显示出“监管补救措施”的迹象。本文最后提出了与市场一体化（供应安全）、技术中立性（可持续性）和充分的价格信号（竞争力）相关的一系列政策困境和目标冲突。
