Ei Beslut Nätkoncession 145 kV Malmö (2026)

Ei news item (2026-06-22) announcing a decision to grant E.ON Energidistribution a nätkoncession för område (area network concession) in the Malmö region with a voltage interval of 82–145 kV. Ärendenummer 2025-103405; spokesperson avdelningschef Daniel Norstedt.

Key claims

• Ei granted E.ON Energidistribution AB permission to build and operate regionnät at 82–145 kV within a defined area in the Malmö region. The concession is valid tills vidare (until further notice) and covers only underground and sea cables (mark- och sjökablar).
• The 145 kV maximum permitted voltage departs from precedent: prior nätkoncessioner för område topped out at 110 kV. Practice and legislative preparatory works (förarbeten) indicate that lines at voltage levels as high as 145 kV should normally be tried as a nätkoncession för linje (line concession), not an area concession.
• Ei found special circumstances justifying the exception: the area is a delimited metropolitan area on mainly developed land (exploaterad mark), and the build-out uses only mark- och sjökablar.
• Rationale — speed and cost: an area concession enables faster, more cost-effective grid expansion than trying each line separately as a line concession — shorter lead times, faster connections, and increased capacity in an expanding region (Norstedt).
• Condition: E.ON must obtain consent from Försvarsmakten for measures affecting total-defence riksintressen.

Relevance to wiki

• Updates Ei — concession-practice precedent (area vs line concession; the 110 → 145 kV exception).
• Updates E.ON Energidistribution — Malmö-region regionnät concession enabling faster cable buildout.
• Updates Distribution System Operator — the nätkoncession för område / för linje distinction now has a documented 145 kV exception.
• Relates to DSO Connection Queue Reform — The Swedish Policy Response — concession-form choice as a lead-time lever alongside the connection-process reforms.
• A dated milestone for Wiki/Regulatory Calendar.md (2026-06-22, recently passed).
