Formal refusals and bans since 2025
No area-wide rule recorded for Sweden.
Decisions from 1 Jan 2025; statuses checked 21 Oct 2026. A market with none recorded is not a low risk market.
Projects of 1 MW or more, announced to under construction, not yet fully operating; a metro includes its region. Capacities are never added, and no project is listed. Grid: new-connection status from the grid connection tracker. Over a year: national averages, latest full year. Latency: light in fibre over the mapped land route, else the straight line.
