Energy politics
in Sweden
Energy
Comission
The swedish energy politics is
based on three pillars:
• Ecological sustainability
• Competitiveness
• Security of Supply
Five major Swedish
Targets in the framework
political parties agreed
on a energy framework agreement
agreement in June 2016 • No net emissions of greenhouse
gases after 2045
• 100 % renewable electricity
production 2040
• 50 % more energy efficient
energy usage 2030 compared to
2005
Smart Grid as a
solution to the
energy
transformation
Smart Grids makes the
transition of the electrical grid
possible
• Integrating renewable energy
• Increase efficiency in the grid
• Integrating energy storage
solutions and facilitate for
prosumers
Achieving the targets set out by
the political framewrok
agreement

Swedish
experiences
and lessons
learned
Smart
Meetering
• Already in 2003, Sweden
mandated monthly automatic
meter reading for all electricity
meters by July 2009.
• Thanks to the new legislation,
investments in Smart Metering
developed fast and the roll-out at
national level was achieved in
time.

Research projects
- SamspEL
Funded by the Swedish
Energy Agency.
Focussing on three research,
development, and innovation
areas:
• Knowledge and competence
• New technologies, system
services, and market models
• Leading Swedish research
and development on a global
market
Stockholm Royal
Seaport ”Norra
Djurgårdsstaden”
• The project involves the Swedish
Energy Agency, Fortum, Ericsson,
ABB, Electrolux, together with the
Royal Institute of Technology
• The project aims to build the
world’s smartest electricity grid.
• Learn from the behavior of
electricity users,
• Control and adapt production,
distribution and usage in a smart
way.
