Elområde

Sweden is divided into four electricity areas (elområden), that is, price areas for electricity, and your electricity price depends on where in the country you live. The division exists because electricity cannot be moved freely between parts of the country, which means supply and demand differ between north and south. For you as a household it shows up in the price on your electricity bill being linked to which area you belong to.
