Who pays when generation fails? : cross-border effects of Swedish nuclear outages

Lundin, Erik - 2026

I estimate the cross-border effects of Swedish nuclear outages using hourly data on day-ahead prices, generation, and consumption across 15 bidding zones in Northern Europe from 2021 to 2024. I exploit unplanned outages as exogenous variation in nuclear supply and find that a 1 GW reduction in...
