In contrast to the two previous quarters, one turbine order was placed during the third quarter. In total, the order amounted to 25 megawatts (MW). Despite the relatively small size of the order, it is a positive signal compared to previous months.
However, market signals for investments in renewable electricity production remain weak and need to be strengthened for the expansion to continue.
The current slowdown in investment activity is concerning, not least because Swedish industry has announced a sharply increased electricity demand by 2030. In the short term, it is wind power, solar power, and batteries that can meet this growing demand.
The wind power portfolio currently includes several gigawatts (GW) of developed projects with all necessary permits in place, ready for investment decisions. If market conditions improve – for example through reduced political risk, higher electricity prices, and increased demand for power – these projects could be realized by 2030.
Despite challenging market conditions, wind and solar power still represented a large share of Sweden’s electricity production. During the first three quarters of 2025, these energy sources accounted for just over 26 percent of total electricity production.
In the first six months of 2025, renewable energy for the first time produced more electricity globally than coal power.
