Presentation

The Swedish Energy Agency unites sustainability, competitiveness, and energy security for cost-efficient energy systems with minimum impact on health, environment and the climate. We are a government agency that contributes with data, knowledge, and analyses regarding energy use and supply in Sweden. We support and fund national research on innovative energy technologies, smart grids, vehicles, and fuels of the future. Furthermore, we support business development, commercialisation, and export of cleantech innovations. Official statistics and support schemes, such as the Electricity Certificate System and the EU Emission Trading System, are some of our responsibilities. We participate in international collaboration, such as supporting the energy transition of low- and middle-income countries through the Paris agreement’s Article 6. We also hold the overall responsibility for the Swedish energy sector due to civil preparedness and provide information on efficient energy use to households, industries, and public authorities.
