Quarterly statistics first quarter 2026

Dela den här sidan

During the first quarter, investment decisions were made in both wind and solar power. For wind power, the investment amounted to 189 megawatts (MW) and for solar power 120 MW.
The investment decision in solar power concerns a solar park that once operational, will be the largest of its kind in Sweden.
Energy storage continues to grow rapidly. Today there is over 400 MW of battery storage under construction that will likely be completed in the coming years. Energy storage is an important part of the electricity system and complements the variable power production from wind and solar.
The larger investment decision in wind power represents a positive shift in trend compared to 2025. At the same time, only around 175 MW was commissioned during the quarter. A lower pace of expansion of new wind power could have major consequences for Sweden’s electrification.
The renewable energy sector has strong conditions to future-proof Sweden. The technologies have shown that they can grow based on market principle and already represent a significant share of the country’s electricity supply. To stimulate future investments, long-term and predictable market conditions are required.
During the first quarter, wind power, solar power, and energy storage accounted for approximately one quarter of Sweden’s total electricity production.
