Power production

Sweden is facing an unprecedented energy transition. To achieve its climate goals, electricity production needs to increase by 6-8 terawatt hours per year over the next 30 years – equivalent to 300,000 electrically heated homes annually. At the same time, the industry faces challenges with lengthy permit processes, complex market models, and an uncertain investment climate. Success requires not only the expansion of new production, but also a system perspective where different energy sources interact, flexibility in the electricity grids, and innovation that goes beyond technology to new business models, regulations, and processes.

RISE helps players in the energy industry navigate the complexity of the energy transition and create the conditions for a robust electricity supply. As an independent research institute, RISE brings together the entire energy sector through the Energiklivet initiative – a platform where producers, grid companies, authorities, and decision-makers develop solutions together. With market and system analyses, strategic decision-making support, and transition roadmaps, you get help to understand the interactions within the energy system, identify opportunities, and make decisions that drive development forward—from policy and regulations to new business models and technical innovations.
