Ei Effektavgifter Nästa Fas (2026)

Summary

Ei announces the close of the first (input-gathering) phase of its effektavgift-redesign government assignment (Track 2 of Swedish DSO Tariff Reform — Three Parallel Tracks (2025–2027)) and the start of the second (analysis) phase. A process-status update, not a substantive design proposal — the 12 April 2027 deadline for Ei’s proposal to government is unchanged and explicitly restated.

Key content

• Phase 1 complete: over spring and summer 2026, Ei’s project group met with DSOs, service providers, and customer representatives; ran surveys targeting the public and DSOs; held reference-group meetings with different stakeholder groups.
• Six recurring themes (among others — the raw text introduces the list as “among other things, the following came in,” signaling it’s illustrative rather than exhaustive) surfaced across stakeholder groups, regardless of actor type:
  1. The purpose of the effektavgift needs to be made clearer.
  2. Greater harmonization is needed between DSOs’ models.
  3. The effektavgift should be more closely tied to actual grid load and moments of congestion (rather than a generic capacity measure).
  4. The regulation needs clearer guidance on how forward-looking costs should be calculated and allocated.
  5. The model needs to be comprehensible, predictable, influenceable, and clearly justified by the electricity system’s actual needs.
  6. Consideration should be given to introducing optional/selectable models — echoing GENAB’s own valbar/ordinarie dual-model approach (see Göteborg Energi Nät).
• New project lead: Gustav Janeling took over as project leader for the assignment during summer 2026 (previously unnamed in the wiki’s Track 2 coverage).
• Phase 2 scope: Ei will analyse and investigate how a new effektavgift design can be regulated and implemented so that charges are simple and transparent and contribute to resource-efficient use of the electricity system — including analysis of how different designs affect electricity users, DSOs, and the grid itself. Continued reference-group consultation is part of this phase.
• Deadline restated: Ei must report its proposal for a new effektavgift design to the government by 12 April 2027 (unchanged).
