I think the prices would always skyrocket in Sweden in the winter - y'all use about 1.7x as much electricity in the winter as you do in the summer, and that's gonna cost you.

not "even though" but "because of" nuclear power is expensive, in Sweden per kilowatt hour it's the most expensive part of the energy mix.
Price of electricity is set by the last most expensive power generation. If peak power requires expensive gas… that’s normal.
