Summary
Ei’s third annual redispatching report. Covers all redispatching (omdirigering) used by Swedish TSO and DSOs in 2024 as required by Art. 13.4 EMR. Seven entities reported — one more than in 2022 and 2023.
Reported volumes 2024
Svenska kraftnät (TSO) — 59,334 MWh
| Resource | Volume (MWh) | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Värmekraft (heat power) | 47,851 | 80.7% |
| Vattenkraft (hydro) | 9,690 | 16.3% |
| Vindkraft (wind) | 1,231 | 2.1% |
| Gasturbiner | 363 | 0.6% |
| Efterfrågeflexibilitet | 165 | 0.3% |
| Other | 35 | 0.1% |
| Total | 59,334 |
Reason: avoid overload in own network. An additional 11,891 MWh was redispatched cross-border.
DSOs — 221,906 MWh
| DSO | Resource | Volume (MWh) | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ellevio AB | Hydro + wind + DR | 220,150 | Avoid overload during regional grid works |
| Umeå Energi Elnät AB | Other | 988 | Avoid overload in own network |
| Göteborg Energi Nät AB | DR (demand response) | 403 | Testing local flex market; managing capacity peaks while awaiting subscription increases after network reinforcements in overlying grid |
| Mölndal Energi Nät AB | DR | 168 | Avoid overload in own and overlying network |
| E.ON Energidistribution AB | DR + other + heat + storage | 193 | Avoid overload in own network and constraints in overlying network |
| Götene elförening ek. för. | DR | 4 | Avoid exceeding subscription limit to overlying network; pilot testing flexibility services per bilateral agreements |
| Total | 221,906 |
Total all operators: 281,241 MWh (vs 169 TWh total Swedish production = 0.17% of production)
DSO resource breakdown
| Resource | Share of DSO total |
|---|---|
| Vattenkraft | ~91% (Ellevio-dominated) |
| Vindkraft | ~7% |
| Efterfrågeflexibilitet | ~2% (4,990 MWh) |
| Energilager + other | <1% |
Key findings
Ellevio dominates: Ellevio’s 220,150 MWh is 99% of all DSO redispatching and 78% of the national total. The cause is ongoing works at the regional (regionnät) grid level, which required sustained redispatching. This is a structural event linked to grid investment works, not an ongoing market mechanism.
Market-based vs non-market: 4 of 6 DSOs describe their redispatching as market-based. 2 DSOs used villkorade avtal (non-market-based). The report does not name which two.
Demand response growth trend:
- 2022: 18 MWh total
- 2023: 103 MWh total
- 2024: 4,990 MWh total (48× year-on-year increase)
Still tiny in absolute terms but consistently growing across all three reporting periods.
GENAB explicitly testing flex market: Göteborg Energi Nät’s stated reason for its 403 MWh redispatching includes “testing a local flexibility market” — confirming that Effekthandel Väst activations appear in the official Art. 13 redispatching record.
Low uptake paradox: Despite widespread reported capacity constraints across Sweden, only 6 of ~170 DSOs reported using redispatching. Ei explicitly flags this: “volymen omdirigering fortfarande låg och de företag som omdirigerar är få” despite capacity shortages being widely reported. Most DSOs appear to be managing capacity through villkorade avtal portfolios not yet activated, connection refusals, or queue delays — none of which appear in the redispatching report.
NC DR as next step: Ei notes the forthcoming NC DR will provide clearer frameworks for capacity shortage management and network capacity coordination.
Year-on-year trend (total volumes)
| Year | DSOs | TSO | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | ~62 MWh (est.) | — | ~150,000 MWh |
| 2023 | 62,469 MWh | 87,000 MWh | ~150,000 MWh |
| 2024 | 221,906 MWh | 59,334 MWh | 281,241 MWh |
Note: 2024 DSO increase is almost entirely driven by Ellevio’s grid works situation.
