Summary
GENAB announces it is stopping the planned mandatory rollout of time-differentiated effektavgifter (originally set for autumn 2026) pending the outcome of Ei’s national effektavgift-redesign assignment (due 12 April 2027 — see Swedish DSO Tariff Reform — Three Parallel Tracks (2025–2027)). The voluntary valbar model already running since 1 March 2025 continues, and gives the first quantified season-one results for that model — directly answering Göteborg Energi Nät‘s open gap on “actual results… beyond the first-season behavioral summary.”
Key content
- Legal trigger for the stop: Regeringsuppdrag KN2026/00582 (13 March 2026) lifted Ei’s requirement (the article does not name EIFS 2022:1 — that attribution is wiki context) that DSOs mandatorily introduce time-differentiated effektavgifter by 1 January 2027. This is the same government decision already documented on Ei and Source - EIFS 2026-8 Nätföretags Information till Elanvändare (2026) as the trigger for the EIFS 2022:1 repeal.
- What’s stopped: GENAB’s planned mandatory rollout to all customer groups, scheduled for autumn 2026, alongside a new charge structure — halted pending Ei’s April 2027 model.
- What continues: the voluntary valbar (optional) pricing model for småhus and businesses with subscriptions ≤63 A (launched 1 March 2025), and the 2021 villa model (effektavgift without time differentiation, GENAB’s original 2021 introduction).
- Season-one valbar-model results (Jennie Sjöstedt, Chef Kund och affär):
- ~2,700 customers enrolled (up from >1,100 at the June 2025 snapshot — a baseline from another wiki page, not from this article)
- Average savings of 1,500–2,000 SEK/year per customer
- 15–20% of usage shifted to lågpristid (low-price periods)
- ~90% renewal rate among enrolled customers to date
- Enrolled customers’ individual peak load falls outside the city’s coincident (grid-wide) peak — i.e., the customers self-selecting into the voluntary model are not the ones driving Gothenburg’s actual system peak
- Cost of the aborted mandatory rollout: approximately 16 million SEK spent to date, roughly half on customer communication — a sunk cost from preparing the now-halted mandatory introduction.
- Apartment customers: exempted from effektavgift entirely, per an Ei-approved exception.

| Göteborg Energi Nät | Directly answers the open gap on tidsindelade effektavgifter results beyond the first-season behavioral summary — enrollment nearly 2.5בd, concrete savings and shift figures, high renewal, and confirmation the mandatory rollout is halted. |
| Swedish DSO Tariff Reform — Three Parallel Tracks (2025–2027) | A concrete DSO-level instance of Track 2’s “regulatory vacuum window” — GENAB’s own mandatory-rollout plan was a casualty of the EIFS 2022:1 repeal, with real sunk cost (~16M SEK) as a consequence of the regulatory reversal’s timing. |
| The Signal Stack — Price Signal Collisions at the Customer DER | The voluntary/mandatory dual-track outcome — self-selected valbar customers whose peaks don’t coincide with the city’s actual peak — is a real-world instance of the page’s thesis that signal-savvy actors (here, self-selecting households) capture the benefit while the underlying coordination problem (aligning individual and system peaks) remains unresolved for everyone else. |
