According to Reuters, power generated by wind turbines is expected to rise up to nearly 47 terawatt hours in 2024, compared to the current 27.4 TWh.
The Swedish Energy Agency explains that the rise will be due to the expansion of wind turbines and the estimated numbers come from their biannual forecast.
According to industry figures, in 2021 Sweden installed more than 2 gigawatts of wind power capacity, bringing the total annual production to 6.8 TWh.
The agency stated that total net electricity produced will go up to 183.5 TWh by 2024, thanks to a tripling of solar energy output from 1.1 TWh to 3 TWh.
Sweden's main electricity generating sources will remain hydropower and nuclear power, at 66 TWh and 52 TWh over the time span.
The amount of power Sweden is able to export is also expected to rise, from the current 25.6 TWh to more than 41 TWh by 2024, but these numbers will fluctuate if the country's energy demand will be larger than the estimates.
The transport sector will see a rise in electricity demand over the next few years, from 3.2 TWh up to almost 5 TWh, while in the industrial sector electricity consumption will grow by 1.3 TWh compared to current demands, reaching 47.8 TWh.
The agency mentioned that the figure regarding the industry could grow by an additional 7.6 TWh if more companies will begin operating in Sweden.
