Ringhals 4 på halv kapasitet påvirker strømprisene

Norsk Bokmål

Én turbin ved reaktor 4 på atomkraftverket Ringhals har vært ute av drift siden lørdag kveld. Reaktoren opererer nå på halv kapasitet, ifølge Vattenfall.

Produksjonsavbruddet forventes å vare til begynnelsen av neste uke. Årsaken er en vannlekkasje i en generator. Halvparten av Sveriges atomreaktorer er allerede stengt for vedlikehold. Ringhals 3 har vært stengt siden begynnelsen av mai. Patrik Södersten, strømprisekspert hos Fortum, sier at avbruddet holder strømprisene høye i Sør-Sverige. Der forventes prisen å nå 74 øre i morgen, sammenlignet med 19 øre i dag.
