Smart grids can improve the efficiency of the energy system, but their implementation requires huge investments. Will this lead to lower prices or only higher rates?

Electricity rates can vary within a country due to local factors such as distance from power stations, the efficiency of the infrastructure and the cost of maintaining the grid. Some regions may have higher grid costs, especially if they are further away from energy sources. Regional taxes and government policies can also affect the price. It is useful to compare rates in different regions via elpris idag to understand why prices differ.
