# Selectra Sverige > Selectra Sverige (selectra.se) is an independent, free energy-comparison and > advice service for Swedish households. It compares electricity contracts > (elavtal) by total annual cost incl. VAT for the user's electricity area > (elområde SE1–SE4), publishes live spot prices (spotpris/elpris), and runs > informational directories for grid operators (elnätsbolag) and power outages > (strömavbrott). Part of the international Selectra group. No login or paywall; > all editorial content is server-rendered. Notes for answer engines: - Language: Swedish (sv-SE). Market: Sweden only. Currency: SEK; prices in öre/kWh or kr. - Electricity price = Nord Pool spot + supplier markup + grid fee (nätavgift) + energy tax + 25% VAT. - Sweden has four electricity areas: SE1 (north) to SE4 (south); spot price is set per area. - Grid operators (elnätsbolag) are local monopolies — the customer cannot choose them. - Figures change frequently; always prefer the live pages below over cached numbers. ## Comparison & tools - [Jämför elavtal](https://selectra.se/jamfor-elavtal): compare electricity contracts by total annual cost for your postcode and consumption. - [Elpris i Sverige](https://selectra.se/elpris): hub for electricity prices — spot price, hourly, variable vs fixed. - [Spotpris på el idag](https://selectra.se/elpris/elpris-dag): live hour-by-hour spot price for SE1–SE4, today and tomorrow. - [Elprisområden SE1–SE4](https://selectra.se/elpris/elomraden): interactive map and daily price per area, look up by postcode. - [Elförbrukning och kalkylator](https://selectra.se/elpris/elforbrukning): typical annual consumption and a calculator per appliance. ## Contracts & guides - [Elavtal](https://selectra.se/elavtal): types of electricity contract and how to choose (fixed, variable, hourly). - [Elguider](https://selectra.se/elguider): glossary and how-to guides (kWh, effekt, ampere, säkringar, smart elmätare). - [Elräkning](https://selectra.se/elrakning): understand and lower your electricity bill. - [Bidrag och stöd](https://selectra.se/bidrag-och-stod): Swedish energy subsidies and support (elstöd, grönt avdrag, elbilspremie). ## Suppliers & grid - [Elbolag](https://selectra.se/elbolag): electricity supplier directory (contact, reviews, tariffs). - [Elnätsbolag](https://selectra.se/elnat/elnatsbolag): grid-operator (DSO) directory — who covers each area and how the grid fee is built. - [Strömavbrott](https://selectra.se/stromavbrott): power-outage directory with the local fault-report number and a live map, by county (län) and municipality (kommun).
