Title: Ei förbereder för att Sverige ska vara redo att genomföra de nya EU-reglerna om flexibilitet Publisher: Energimarknadsinspektionen (Ei) Published: 2025-11-20 URL: https://ei.se/om-oss/nyheter/2025/2025-11-20-ei-forbereder-for-att-sverige-ska-vara-redo-att-genomfora-de-nya-eu-reglerna-om-flexibilitet Language: Swedish
Short news article announcing Ei’s preparatory work for NC DR implementation — specifically the design of the process that system operators must follow when developing proposals for national Terms & Conditions.
Key claims
What Ei is doing: Designing the process that system operators (DSOs and Svk) must follow when developing proposals for nationella villkor (national Terms & Conditions) under the NC DR. Per the NC DR draft, Ei as the NRA is responsible for designing and approving this process.
Named project leader: Yuri Joelsson, Ei.
Statutory deadline: The process must be ready no later than 12 months after the NC DR enters into force. NC DR expected to be decided at EU level in 2026.
Parallel preparation approach: Ei is working proactively while EU negotiations are still ongoing: “vi tror att det är en stor fördel både för nätföretagen, Svenska kraftnät och Ei om vi redan nu kan göra ett visst förarbete.” The goal is to be ready as soon as the regulation is adopted rather than starting from scratch at that point.
Early 2026 study: Ei will commission a study mapping how the process for national T&C development can be structured, covering:
- Different models for SO collaboration used in other European countries
- How those models function in practice
- What conditions are required for success
Sweden’s specific challenge: Sweden has “ett stort antal små och medelstora nätföretag” — a large number of small and medium-sized DSOs — all of whom need to be able to participate meaningfully in T&C development. This structural difference (vs countries with one or two large DSOs) is explicitly flagged as a design constraint.
Dialogue partners: Ei is in ongoing dialogue with Energiföretagen (which already coordinates DSOs in various matters) and Svenska kraftnät, drawing on their experiences and perspectives for process design.
