SSAB has located it’s H2 plants near several large hydroelectric power plants, so in Sweden’s case we have to build nuclear power plants further south to provide power to the bulk of the population.
That should happen anyway since the transport capacity between the hydropower-rich north and the power-hungry south and west is not sufficient and there do not seem to be plans to change this situation markedly - possibly because the state (in the form of Svenska Kraftnät [2]) makes a pretty penny on the "flaskhalsavgifter" [1]. They can start by correcting the mistakes made by the previous governments in closing half of the available nuclear power generation capability, repeal the law which states that no new nuclear facilities can be built in locations other than those where one already exists and get serious in establishing new locations close to where the power is needed, preferably chosen so that waste heat can be used as well.
