Construction of new hybrid solar-wind farm to start soon

April 14, 2025 ryansheehanrts

The new project located in Grevekulla, Ydre municipality, will see construction of a solar park adjacent to the existing wind park, with work scheduled to begin in three weeks.

By co-locating wind and solar power, the project maximises the use of both land and grid infrastructure. The complementary production profiles of wind and solar technologies create a more stable and balanced energy output, leading to better efficiency in utilising the grid connection.

Market for hybrid power plants in Europe still in the starting blocks

“The combination of wind and solar power in the same area demonstrates European Energy’s ability to think innovatively and optimise renewable energy deployment,” says Peter Braun, Country Manager at European Energy in Sweden.

“By co-locating, we make better use of the grid, balance production throughout the day and across seasons, and reduce the environmental footprint of new renewable generation.”

Wind park with 36 MW co-located with 38 MW solar park

The existing wind park in Grevekulla comprises six turbines with a combined capacity of 36 MW. The planned solar park will add a capacity of 38 MW, bringing the total expected annual production to a level equivalent to the household electricity consumption of approximately 28,000 homes.

Sweden: Batteries pave the way for more renewable electricity

The development of the solar park follows consultations with local stakeholders and an environmental impact assessment, which identified low ecological values at the site. The County Administrative Board has granted approval, confirming the suitability of the location for solar energy generation. The solar installation will consist of 61,776 panels across just over 40 hectares.

Supporting grid stability and maximising land efficiency

Thorvald Spanggaard, Executive Vice President and Head of Project Development at European Energy, adds: “Hybrid parks are a strategic priority for European Energy. By combining technologies, we can accelerate the energy transition while supporting grid stability and maximising land efficiency. The decision to invest in Grevekulla reflects our long-term commitment to expanding renewable energy capacity in Sweden.”

SolarPower Europe extends its reach to storage and flexibility

The hybrid park is expected to be fully operational during 2026. In addition to contributing to Sweden’s renewable energy supply and supporting long-term energy security, the project will also generate local value through the involvement of regional contractors for preparatory works. (hcn)

100 new charging points for Stockholm community

April 11, 2025 ryansheehanrts

E-Mobility advises commercial property owners on what to consider when planning new charging infrastructure, and how to avoid mistakes when preparing and future-proofing parking spaces in line with new EU requirements for expanded charging infrastructure.

Based in Borlänge, E-Mobility is part of the Soltech Group and specialises in large-scale electric vehicle charging installations and high-efficiency infrastructure. Since its founding, the company has designed, installed and maintained thousands of charging points across much of southern and central Sweden.

The new project will be carried out in Nacka, just outside Stockholm. It covers the design, installation and operation of at least 100 charging points for the real estate company Elisby Fastigheter, which has also appointed E-Mobility to handle the ongoing operation and maintenance. Construction is set to begin in April.

“It feels great to be entrusted with carrying out a new charging infrastructure project for a real estate company that focuses on sustainability. Now we are helping them adapt their parking spaces to the new EU requirements for charging infrastructure,” says Maja Pettersson, Key Account Manager at E-Mobility.

New EU rules from 2025 – expected to be further tightened in 2027

At the turn of the year, a new EU directive came into force requiring commercial properties, including shopping centres and sports halls, with 20 or more parking spaces to provide at least one charging point. The regulation is part of the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). But the EU’s ambition to expand charging infrastructure doesn’t stop there: by 2027, the rules are expected to tighten further, requiring at least one charging point for every ten parking spaces.

“The new EU rules are beneficial and will make it easier to be an electric car user in Sweden. However, we’ve noticed that many property owners aren’t aware of the new regulations or what’s expected of them. That’s why we want to offer guidance on how to adapt parking spaces to today’s requirements, and future-proof them for even stricter rules ahead,” says Martin Götesson, CEO of E-Mobility.

Important points to consider

Maja Pettersson and Martin Götesson highlight key points for property owners and how to avoid common pitfalls.

Map both parking spaces and electrical systems: Start by assessing your current electrical setup and the layout of your parking areas. Determine whether your existing infrastructure can handle the additional load from new charging points, or if upgrades are required. Careful planning and a well-chosen service partner can help minimise risks down the line, while ensuring smooth operation, remote monitoring, and accurate individual billing.

Future-proof charging points: The new requirements have only just come into force, but from 2027 they will be tightened. One charging point must be available for every tenth parking space, and 50 percent of spaces must be prepped for charging. By planning ahead, property owners can avoid unnecessary future remodeling costs.

Use financial support: Apply for a grant through programmes such as Klimatklivet, which can cover up to 50 percent of installation and material costs.

Avoid pitfalls

Deficient analysis: Carefully assess your electrical system before installation. If it cannot handle the increased load, costly upgrades may be required later.

Installing minimum requirements: Meeting only the minimum can result in costly renovations later, as regulations tighten. With this in mind, pan with a long-term perspective.

Starting too late: Planning should begin right away, as the new requirements are already in effect. Excavation work, in particular, becomes far more difficult and costly during the winter when the ground is frozen. Proactive planning helps avoid delays and unnecessary expense. (hcn)

Batteries pave the way for more renewable electricity

April 8, 2025 ryansheehanrts

2023 was an extreme year for solar power in Sweden, with a turbulent European energy crisis creating a unique interest in PV. In 2024, installations returned to the level of 2022. At the same time, recent figures from the Swedish Energy Agency show that investments in batteries are now increasing significantly, strengthening the opportunities to integrate more weather-dependent, renewable power generation into the energy system.

We see fewer PV installations in 2024, which is to be expected as 2023 was an extreme year. At the same time, we see a lot of interest in batteries, which is more than gratifying,’ says Anna Werner, CEO of Svensk Solenergi (Swedish Solar Energy Association).

High interest in larger solar installations

It is mainly the residential market for PV systems that has decreased compared to 2023. Interest in larger solar plants remains high, with a large number of applications awaiting decisions.

Co-located solar park for a resilient grid completed in Sweden

“We see that smaller solar parks, up to 10 hectares, receive decisions relatively quickly. Here, the county administrations have become much better, thanks to more experience and some precedent-setting decisions. For larger parks, approvals still sometimes take an unreasonable amount of time and the queues are long,” says Anna Werner.

Fivefold increase of commercial and utility-scale batteries

According to figures from Svensk Solenergi and the Swedish Tax Agency, the installation of residential battery systems will increase by 40 percent by 2024. Batteries are important for integrating more solar power into the electricity system, as they enable the storage of intermittent electricity and provide flexibility and stability to the grid.

Sweden: Batteries are not a ‘threat to the grid’

“Batteries allow us to store electricity that is dependent on the weather throughout the day. But they are also very effective in reinforcing the electricity grid, as they can quickly balance the grid in the event of rapid power outages and can be used for frequency regulation – maintaining the balance between production and consumption,” says Anna Werner.

Market for hybrid power plants in Europe still in the starting blocks

In addition to the great interest in residential battery installations, large battery parks are also on the rise in Sweden. Svensk Solenergi estimates that the capacity of commercial batteries and large-scale battery parks will increase fivefold from 200 MW in 2023 to more than 1,000 MW by the end of 2024. (hcn)

High quality and service as deciding factors

March 27, 2025 ryansheehanrts

In the Holma district of Malmö there is a large residential complex at Hyacintgatan 45. It was recently equipped with photovoltaics, like previous similar large-scale projects. The quarter was built in the 1970s as part of the so-called million dollar program. In order to create affordable housing, numerous settlements were planted on arable land.

15 buildings with 540 apartments

In this case it is the owners’ association Riksbyggen Brf Malmöhus 24, which includes 540 apartments. The solarization project was planned and installed by the BBK company.

Video: Presenting the BBK Group from Trelleborg, Sweden

In order to meet the high requirements, BBK first analyzed the market for solar components. “We chose solar inverters from Kostal and modules from REC from Norway,” says Daniel Ohlin, CEO of the BBK Group. “This guarantees high quality. It was also important to us that if we have any questions or problems, experienced and local technical experts can help us if necessary.” The selection of the inverters was preceded by extensive tests of various products and suppliers. The decisive factors were efficiency and service.

Some roofs more than 30 meters high

The Riksbyggen Brf Malmöhus 24 district consists of 15 buildings with different floor plans, some of which are higher than 30 meters. “We started installing solar modules on the first building in 2016,” Ohlin reflects. “We have equipped another building every year since then.”

Kostal Solar Electric

The solar modules are mounted parallel to the roof pitch using the Dome Zero from K2 Systems.

Quality and service also played a crucial role in the selection of assembly technology. “In Sweden, no one has any technical experience with installation on such tall buildings,” reports the manager. “The wind loads are very high and the conditions for installation are sometimes extreme.”

Modules installed parallel to the roof

So far, 2048 N-Peak and Twinpeak 5 solar modules have been installed by REC. The substructure comes from K2 Systems. The solar modules were not mounted on stands, but rather mounted parallel to the roof pitch using the Dome Zero from K2 Systems. “This meant we didn’t need approval from the building authorities,” explains the manager. “The system also requires far fewer additions or fastenings to the solid wood roof substructure.”

All systems have the same structure and components to ensure longevity and reduce maintenance costs. “The installation went smoothly in all projects because all suppliers supported us in the planning,” praises Ohlin. “We were and are in constant contact to coordinate data and requirements.”

Borgholm is the solar city of Sweden

Around 650 kilowatts installed so far

Six of 14 buildings are now equipped with solar technology. The solar modules produce 650 kilowatts. 17 inverters were installed, EPC and Piko CI. All in all, 550,000 kilowatt hours of clean electricity have been generated so far.

It was important to planners and owners that the projects were economically viable. “At the beginning we planned to break even in eight years,” says Ohlin. “When electricity prices skyrocketed, we broke even after just four to five years.”

As a result, the systems that were first installed have already paid for themselves. The solar power goes via the house power distributors into the apartments and elevators, into the lighting of the stairwells and garages and into charging points for electric cars. (HS/hcn)

At the turn of the year, a new EU directive came into force, requiring commercial properties, such as shopping centers and sports halls, with 20 parking spaces or more to offer at least one charging point. The basis for the new requirements is the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). However, the EU’s ambition to expand the charging infrastructure in the Union does not stop there. As early as 2027, EU regulations are expected to be further tightened to require at least one charging point for every tenth parking space.

„The new EU rules are beneficial and will make it easier to be an electric car user in Sweden. However, we have noticed that many property owners are not aware of the new regulations or what is expected of them. Therefore, we would like to offer some advice on what to consider when adapting your parking spaces to current requirements, while also future-proofing them to meet even stricter regulations“, says Martin Götesson, CEO of E-Mobility.

Important points to consider

Maya Pettersson and Martin Götesson mention important points to consider as a property owner and to avoid pitfalls:

Map both parking spaces and electrical systems: Start by taking stock of your electrical system and your parking spaces. Check whether your electrical installations can handle the extra load that charging posts entail or if reinforcements are needed. Thorough planning and a careful selection of services reduce the risk of problems later on and can also ensure hassle-free ownership, including operation, monitoring, and individual billing.

Future-proof charging points: The new requirements have just come into force, but in 2027 the requirements will be tightened, as one charging point must be available for every tenth parking space, and 50 percent of the spaces must be prepared for charging.

Use financial support: Apply for a grant via, for example, Klimatklivet, which can cover up to 50 percent of the costs of installation and materials.

Avoid pitfalls

Deficient analysis: Make sure to carefully analyze your electrical system before installation. If the electrical system cannot cope with the increased load, it can lead to expensive upgrades later.

Installing minimum requirements: Installing only at the minimum level can lead to future renovations and costs as requirements become stricter over time. Think long-term to avoid this.

Starting too late: It is wise to start planning immediately, the new requirements are already in place. If excavation work is required, it can be significantly more difficult to carry it out during the winter when it is cold or the ground is frozen. Being proactive can save both time and money in the long run. (hcn)

Svensk Solenergi – Sweden will be installing more than 1 GW until year’s end

November 27, 2024 ryansheehanrts

The country’s solar association Svensk Solenergi has been collecting monthly statistics from the three major electricity network companies for several years. In 2023 the country installed around 1.4 GW new solar power.

The forecast for the entire year 2024 predicts 65,000 installations with just above 1 GW of power. However, the forecast now relies on a strong autumn and a clear effect of reduced interest rates.

Up and down in the market

During the first half of 2024, the number of pre-registered solar installations increased each month until June, which saw a slight downturn. A total of 31,400 installations were pre-registered during this period; however, this is about 40% fewer than the same period in 2023, which was historically strong with 56,100 installations following the energy crisis in 2022.

Sweden: Less residential – more commercial PV installations

These sectors are benefiting from favorable financial incentives, such as tax deductions and policies allowing small producers to sell excess electricity back to the grid. This strong demand, particularly for rooftop solar systems, aligns with Sweden’s broader renewable energy goals, which aim for 65% renewable generation by 2030 and 100% by 2040.

More news about the Swedish market

Utilities are facing significant challenges

However, the utility-scale solar market is facing significant challenges. The discontinuation of certain tax relief schemes has slowed the pace of new installations, and large-scale solar projects are encountering delays due to permitting issues and competition from other renewable sources like wind and hydropower. Despite these obstacles, there is growing interest in subsidy-free solar projects, especially in southern Sweden, where energy demand is high.

Anna Werner, CEO of Svensk Solenergi, highlights the need for continued policy support to overcome these challenges: “To maintain and accelerate the growth of solar energy in Sweden, it is crucial that we continue to see strong governmental support, particularly in streamlining the permitting process and ensuring favorable conditions for large-scale projects. This will allow us to meet our renewable energy targets and ensure that solar energy becomes a more significant part of Sweden’s energy mix.”

Website of Svensk Solenergi

As Sweden continues to invest in grid infrastructure and renewable energy sources, solar power is expected to play an increasingly important role. However, its growth will largely depend on the successful implementation of supportive policies and the resolution of current bottlenecks in project development. (Carina Aspenberg)

New guideline for increased fire protection in battery storage systems

October 22, 2024 ryansheehanrts

The new guideline sets a clear standard for how battery storage systems should be installed to minimize the risk of fires and other incidents. The guideline is specifically designed to provide practical guidance for the installation of batteries in both commercial and residential buildings, as well as in free-standing outdoor structures. It also covers the latest fire protection requirements for large-scale batteries in containers, increasingly common in large solar and wind farms.

“Energy storage systems are an indispensable technology in our transition to a fully renewable electricity system with very cheap, weather-dependent electricity, but we cannot ignore the potential risks,” said Anna Werner, CEO of the Swedish Solar Energy Federation. “This guideline is a step forward to ensure that the rapidly growing energy storage sector remains safe, reliable and sustainable.”

Main content of the guideline

– Categorization of battery systems based on size and location, with clear information on the requirements for installations in houses, commercial buildings and large-scale battery systems.

– Enhanced fire protection requirements are presented, in addition to general ones, including recommendations for fire compartmentation, separation distances and ventilation.

– Recommendations for risk assessment, with particular focus on large-scale battery installations where risk analysis should be carried out.

– Recommendations for signage for all types of installations. For larger installations, there are also recommendations on response cards for the local emergency services.

The new guideline is a support for installers and property owners and provides clear information on fire protection around the battery itself. The guideline also contains appendices with guidance for fire protection in batteries in other national and international regulations and guidelines, including from the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning and local emergency services.

Statistics on batteries

The number of people who were granted tax deductions for the installation of home batteries increased from 2,000 in 2021 to 43,000 in 2023. The increase looks set to continue to new levels and the installed capacity of home batteries is estimated to increase from just over 200 MW to almost 400 MW in 2024.

Statistics are not available for larger batteries, but both commercial batteries in buildings and industry and large-scale battery parks are expected to increase from around 100 MW each at the end of 2023 to well over 1 000 MW in total in 2024.

The amount of batteries pre-qualified to supply ancillary services to Svenska kraftnät increased in 2023 from 40 MW to 80 MW. At the beginning of October 2024, more than 530 MW was pre-qualified and at the same time a large number of projects are waiting to undergo pre-qualification. (hcn)

Pioneering fast-charging project in Stockholm

October 17, 2024 ryansheehanrts

Stockholm is relying on networked, battery-supported systems and digital solutions to reduce environmental pollution and electrify urban transport. “The cooperation with the smart city of Stockholm is not only an outstanding vote of confidence in our concept of urban fast charging networks. Following our market entry in the Netherlands last May, it is also another important step in the implementation of our European city cluster strategy, with significant impact,” says Maurice Neligan, CEO of Jolt.

Nils Blom, project manager at the City of Stockholm, adds: “The cooperation with Jolt Energy is an important element for us in achieving our ambitious climate targets. This is a good example of a technology that enables ultra-fast charging in areas with limited grid capacity.” According to Jolt CEO Neligan, the company expects that German cities will increasingly follow the example of Sweden in using a space-saving and extremely powerful battery-supported fast-charging infrastructure to make an important contribution to achieving their climate protection goals.

Easy installation without the need for grid expansion

Jolt’s fast charging stations, equipped with a powerful battery storage unit, require only a connection to the low-voltage grid despite a maximum charging capacity of up to 300 kW. This enables quick and easy installation without the need for extensive construction work or grid expansion. Electric cars can be charged at Jolt charging stations in just five minutes for a range of more than 100 kilometers. This means that an electric car can often be charged from around 20 to 80% in the time it takes to visit a supermarket, which is usually around 20 minutes, and meets exactly the demand that citizens have for electric mobility.

Also see: Direct current with great potential

Jolt’s high-performance charging technology is also extremely space-efficient, because significantly more cars can be charged daily at one station than with conventional AC charging technology. “This technology offers significant advantages, especially in densely populated cities where parking space is scarce. The high level of space efficiency frees up additional space for cycle paths, public transport or green recreational areas, which increases the quality of life in cities,” explains Rauno Fuchs, Vice President Government Affairs at Jolt and an expert in sustainable urban development.

HPC charging infrastructure in public spaces all over Europe

Jolt plans, finances and operates fast-charging clusters in metropolitan areas as a Charge Point Operator (CPO). In Germany and the Netherlands. The company is already pursuing a sustainable strategic expansion of its public charging network on private property in major cities such as Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, The Hague and Rotterdam. With the lighthouse project in Stockholm, Jolt is also demonstrating the effectiveness of its city cluster strategy on public land.
