The report provides a complete picture of the country situation, dynamics, current issues and future prospects. With market data and continuous follow-up of markets news, this report brings clear and concise insights with which to tackle national energy challenges and opportunities. Browse the tabs below for a detailed table of contents, the list of graphs and tables, and details on the data files.

Highlights

  • Sweden changed its 2040 energy mix target to "100% fossil-free", instead of "100% renewables".
  • Carbon neutrality is to be reached in 2045.
  • Sweden has the world's highest CO2 tax for the residential and services sectors.
  • The energy market is dominated by state-owned companies Vattenfall, for power, and Swedegas, for natural gas. Vattenfall generates 45% of the power production.
  • Carbon free sources represent 99% of the power mix, 70% of which for renewables (50% hydro and 19% wind).
  • The 10 bcm/year Baltic Pipe between Sweden, Norway, and Denmark started operating in 2022.
  • The country exports large volumes of electricity, but imports all its oil and gas needs.
  • Energy prices have been surging since 2020, following global crude oil prices and European electricity prices.
  • District heating prices vary from single to double across the different cities.
  • Carbon-free sources made up 75% of total energy consumption in 2022 (+10 pp since 2010).
  • Oil consumption has dropped by more than one third since 2002.
  • Around 3.4 GW of wind projects are under construction and 34 GW are planned.
  • In 2023, the government proposed to amend Sweden's legislation on nuclear power to allow new reactors to be built.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of Climate and Enterprise (MCE) is responsible for matters relating to the climate, the environment, and energy, as well as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Ministry is also working to ensure the transition to a circular economy.

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    Sweden does not have fossil fuel resources. Its main resource is hydroelectricity, with an economically exploitable potential of 80 TWh, followed by wind (potential estimated at 25 TWh).

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    Fuel prices have surged since 2020, following international crude oil prices (+20%/year for gasoline to €1.95/l in 2022 and +30%/year for diesel to €2.31/l). This rise in global crude oil prices contributed to cut the share of taxes in final prices between 2020 and 2022 by 19 percentage points (pp) to 48% for gasoline and by 17 pp to 36% for diesel.

  • Energy Consumption

    In 2022, total energy consumption per capita was 4.4 toe (around 50% above the EU average). At around 12 000 kWh, the country's electricity consumption per capita is the second highest in the EU (2.1 times higher than the EU average).

  • Issues & Prospects

    According to the Swedish Energy Agency's (STEM) long-term energy scenarios 2018, the country's total consumption should decrease by 16%-20% by 2050.
