The electricity system must always be able to meet demand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

SKGS is a collaboration between Sweden\u2019s largest electricity users: the forest, chemical, mining, and steel industries. Working closely with industry organisations representing these sectors, SKGS develops positions on substantive issues relating to Sweden\u2019s electricity supply. Our basic starting point is that Sweden must have a robust electricity system that is always able to meet electricity users\u2019 needs for fossil-free electricity at competitive costs. The total cost of electricity grids, electricity taxes, and electricity production \u2013 system costs \u2013 largely determine the competitiveness of our electricity-intensive industries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Large quantities of fossil-free electricity will be necessary to achieve the climate transition. The implementation of the energy-intense industry’s roadmaps for fossil free competitiveness is necessary to reach the ambitious Swedish climate target of net zero emissions no later than 2045.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

SKGS safeguards the long-term competitiveness of Sweden\u2019s energy-intense industry. The cost of electricity is a large and increasing proportion of the sector\u2019s production costs. The climate transition and electrification are progressing faster than expected, which is increasing the load on Sweden\u2019s electricity system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
