Natural gas consumption spiked from 1.1 bcm in 2009 to 1.6 bcm in 2010, due to a 68% rise in natural gas use for electricity production following the commissioning of the Öresund power plant. Since then, consumption has fallen due partly to high hydro-electricity production, bringing natural gas consumption to 0.8 bcm in 2018 (-49%).

STEM is also in charge of implementing the renewable energy policy and is the accounting authority for certificates and guarantees of origin since 2015.
According to the EU Directive on renewables, the national target is to increase the share of renewables in final consumption to 55% by 2020. This was achieved in 2011, a level at which it remained in 2017.
In addition, in 2015, ...
The country has easily reached its Kyoto requirement of a 4% decrease in GHG emissions, achieving a level of emissions 20% below their 1990 level in 2012. In 2017 GHG emissions were 26% lower than in 1990.
By 2020, Sweden targets to reduce GHG emissions of activities not covered by the EU-ETS by 40% compared to 1990 (Integrated Climate and Energy policy, 2009). The reduction will be ...
