As we stand on the brink of a sustainable energy revolution, Sweden emerges as a shining exemplar of the potential and proficiency in renewable energy. Sweden was Europe’s largest net exporter of electricity[1] and offers competitive electricity prices (especially in the northern parts of Sweden). Due to this Sweden has a leading position in renewable technology, Sweden is paving the way for a fossil fuel-free future. In 2022, an impressive 69 percent of Sweden’s electricity production[2] came from renewable sources, a testament to the nation’s dedication to a greener and more sustainable tomorrow.
In many ways, Sweden’s renewable energy landscape is flourishing. The nation boasts abundant hydroelectric power, favourable wind conditions, good solar opportunities (in contrast to what many people may think) and advanced technological expertise. Additionally, a well-educated workforce, robust infrastructure, and a business-friendly environment all make Sweden an ideal location for expanding renewable energy.
In the northern parts of Sweden, we will see significant investments the coming years of more than SEK 1,000 billion[3], largely focusing on producing fossil-free steel and electrofuels, manufacturing batteries, infrastructure, and securing sustainable forestry industry. For that, new green energy is required.
MAQS’s specialist group Renewables has a leading position within the industry, serving as a full-service legal business partner to its clients. Collaborating with key clients such as SCA, Rabbalshede Kraft, EnBW and Liquid Wind, MAQS has been involved in large investments, key transactions, and regulatory approvals within the realm of renewable energy.
Through our collaborations and projects, we have identified four key trends within the Swedish renewables market:
In summary, these four trends define the current landscape of renewables in Sweden, reflecting both challenges and opportunities. As the country navigates the complexities of onshore wind power, the rise of solar energy, offshore wind’s resilience, and the growing interest in repowering, it is evident that Sweden’s renewable energy future is dynamic and filled with potential. The remaining question is how your company will contribute to and benefit from these evolving trends in Sweden’s renewable energy sector?
