Sweden's dependency on russian energy is relatively low to begin with. https://www.energimyndigheten.se/nyhetsarkiv/2022/ar-svensk-...

For Sweden not that much. Sweden was always an energy exporter and not really depending on Russia.

Neighbouring countries such as Finland have been more dependant on Russia and the imports from Sweden have increased because of cutting the Russian gas. This has had secondary effects on Sweden by increasing the electricity price.

Eh. Natural gas accounted for less than 5% of Finland's total energy consumption before Russia cut off the gas pipelines. And this was before Finland got a new floating LNG terminal (January 2023) and the new 1600 MW reactor came online (April 2023).

But I guess those 5% made a difference before 2023.

Not directly, Sweden is a net exporter of electricity.
