    Right now Sweden has adequate baseload, they are well positioned to go with more renewable.

    UHVDC and HVDC links can be used to transmit power over thousands of kms. I think the longest line currently is in China a 1100kVDC line that stretches over 3300kms.

    Even with conventional AC transmission, power generated in Churchill and James Bay eventually ends up in population centres in Southern Canada and New England.
