Svenska kraftnät is an electricity transmission system operator in Sweden.[2] It is a state-owned public utility, which was created in 1992 by splitting the former government agency Vattenfall into a power generation and distribution company Vattenfall AB and a transmission company Svenska kraftnät. The company has its headquarters in Sundbyberg, near Stockholm in Sweden. Svenska kraftnät owns and manages 17500 km of power lines, 175 transformer - and switching stations as well as foreign connections with both alternating and direct current. [3]

Svenska kraftnät owns 28% of Nord Pool along with other Nordic and Baltic transmission system operators.
