Sweden
SWE · 2024 energy mix · renewables 50.6% · fossil fuels 27.8%
Threat reading 22 of 100, classified STABLE. 2 events recorded here in the last seven days, 2 in the last thirty.
That number is computed from live feeds and moves. The live monitor is where to read it as of right now.
Where its energy comes from
| Hydro | 26.7% |
|---|---|
| Oil | 23.0% |
| Nuclear | 20.9% |
| Wind | 16.7% |
| Other renewables | 5.5% |
| Coal | 3.2% |
| Solar | 1.7% |
| Gas | 1.6% |
In 2024, renewables accounted for 50.6% and fossil fuels for 27.8%. On electricity traded with its neighbours, Sweden is a net exporter of electricity.
Sources under one per cent of the mix are left out of the table rather than listed as a row of zeroes. Percentages are shares of a country's primary energy, not of the power it generates.
Recorded history
NOAA's hazard records hold one tsunami in or just off Sweden since 1969.
The most recent entry is the 12 April 1969 tsunami (waves to 5 m) (Norsalv River).
| Date | What | Where | Toll |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 April 1969 | tsunami (waves to 5 m) | Norsalv River | - |
A dash means NOAA recorded no number, not that nobody died. Older entries are fewer because fewer were written down, not because less happened.

What the threat reading is made of
| Conflict | 0 |
|---|---|
| Unrest | 0 |
| Security | 10 |
| Spillover from neighbours | 0 |
| Natural hazard | 35 |
| Resilience | 85 |
Each is 0 to 100. Resilience runs the other way to the rest: a high number is a country better able to absorb a shock, not a country in more trouble.
