It seems kind of primitive to have power lines just hanging on poles, right?

Bit unsightly too

Is it just a cost issue and is it actually significant when considering the cost of power loss on society (work, hospital, food, etc)?

      That may be true. I’m just telling you that if so, it doesn’t reflect Sweden as a whole.

        sweden is split into four “electricity zones”, from north to south. the prices seem to match those in zone 4, in the very very south.

        Edit:

        here is the current price for each zone in öre/kWh (an öre is 1/100th of a krona). divide by 10 and you get cents, ish.

        for reference the current spot price when converted is $0.12/kWh. more than i pay but i have a fixed kWh price.
