Our Swedish newspaper "Dagens Industri" just wrote 28 000 MWe (is there any 
difference in interpretation?) and that we were at 26700 MWe yesterday:

Sorry that most of you can't read this but it is mentioned that closing 
Barseback 1 NPP took 600 MWe out of the system. We met the increased demand 
yesterday by starting an oilfired plant in southern Sweden to produce 330 
MWe and also by important 400 MWe from Denmark (coal & oil fired power) as 
well as 60 MWe from Poland (brown coal fired power). This is interesting 
since Barseback 1 is located near Denmark and many people there obviously 
like to see Barseback shut down. Now they can sell the dirty power to us 
with predominating winds going  our direction (but they get some NIMBY 
biproducts that few people talk about).
