Energy Market - Comparative Dynamics (US & Sweeden)

Curious about the energy generation and transmission market, I studied the Swedish Power Market in relation to the US's system.

Task: Work with a colleague to study a European system, then research and compare this system to the US equivalent.

Takeaway: The US struggles to transmit the power that it generates. Sweden benefits from geographical proximity to alternative power markets. The US needs to invest in and build more transmission lines.
