Provisions

• 1 §, scope: financing of a capacity mechanism within the meaning of Art. 2.22 of the EU Electricity Market Regulation (2019/943).
• 2 §, terms: words have the same meaning as in the ellagen (1997:857) until 31 December 2026 and as in the elmarknadslagen (2026:1281) from 1 January 2027 (SFS 2026:1297).
• 3 §, who pays and why: to cover the system operator’s costs under agreements it makes so that a capacity mechanism exists, the authority may charge the holder of the balance responsibility that a supplier needs in order to deliver electricity at a withdrawal point. Until 31 December 2026 the charging body is “the system operator authority” (den systemansvariga myndigheten) and the balance responsibility is that required by 8 kap. 12 § ellagen; from 1 January 2027 it is Affärsverket svenska kraftnät by name and the balance responsibility required by 11 kap. 2 § elmarknadslagen.
• 4 §, fee base: the size of the fee is based on the quantity of electricity withdrawn for consumption at the withdrawal points covered by the balance responsibility during the period the fee relates to. (The ordinance narrows the base to price areas SE3 and SE4; see Source - Forordning 2025-835 Kapacitetsmekanism (2025).)
• 5 §: the government, or an authority it appoints, may issue further regulations on fees.
• 6 §: the authority (from 2027 Svk) may decide fees in individual cases.
• 7 §, appeal: such decisions may be appealed to the general administrative court; leave to appeal is needed for the administrative court of appeal (kammarrätten).

Relevance to wiki

• The 2027 change is a terminology and cross-reference update tied to the new electricity market act (Elmarknadslagen); it does not change the fee base, payer or appeal route as written.
• The page shows the statutory basis for Svk’s consumption surcharge and its appealable final decision described in Source - Svk Avgifter Balansansvariga Parter (2026).
• Payer and base are set in the law (BRPs, withdrawn volume at the covered withdrawal points) and the ordinance (SE3 and SE4, per the existing source page); the clipping does not contain the ordinance text.
