Öresundskraft V2G Helsingborg Pilot (2025)

Six clippings from and about Öresundskraft (Helsingborg’s municipal energy company), spanning June 2025 to roughly July 2026: a press release (mynewsdesk, 18 June 2025) announcing a V2G test at its own HQ; Öresundskraft’s own explainer/FAQ page on V2G and bidirectional charging (oresundskraft.se, undated, current as of 2026-09-08); a company blog post, “Från elbil till energiresurs” (undated, current as of 2026-09-08); a second company blog post, “När elbilen blir mer än bara ett transportmedel” (undated, current as of 2026-09-08); a LinkedIn post by Jenny Gustavsson (Öresundskraft) dated roughly October 2025 (11 months before 2026-09-08); and a LinkedIn post from the Öresundskraft company account dated roughly July 2026 (2 months before 2026-09-08). None of these six clippings were actually saved as raw copies in this vault (checked 2026-09-23, no files found). A seventh item was found, fetched, and saved this pass: Öresundskraft’s own blog post “Helsingborg får sin första V2G-laddstation” (3 October 2025, by Lisa Holmberg, Raw/Clippings/Helsingborg får sin första V2G-laddstation.md) — this appears to be the primary announcement the Jenny Gustavsson LinkedIn post (below) summarizes.

Summary

Öresundskraft has run an innovation project, not a commercial offering, testing bidirectional charging at its own HQ in Helsingborg since around mid-2025, using company fleet vehicles and its own solar/battery storage. Energy Bank manages and aggregates the vehicles during testing (same aggregation platform as the Vattenfall/VW national V2G scale-up — see Source - Vattenfall Energy Bank VW V2G Pilot 2025-2026). Progression, per the two blog posts and two LinkedIn posts (in rough chronological order):

• ~June 2025: test announced at HQ.
• 29 September 2025 (per the newly-found primary source, Öresundskraft’s own blog, published 3 October 2025): Helsingborg’s first official V2G charging station formally inaugurated. Two 22 kW charging points operational, with three more planned before year-end 2025 (five total, 55 kW combined) and the site prepared for up to 10 points, which could cover half of the office’s peak power need (the 5-point/quarter figure below and the 10-point/half figure are consistent, linearly-scaled claims from the same source, not a contradiction). Cites Helsingborg’s Klimat- och energiplan target of half of all vehicles chargeable by 2030, and states 10% of those activated via V2G for one hour could match 12% of the whole city’s electricity demand on a cold winter day; nationally, up to 5 GW of flexibility by 2030. Quotes Rickard Norin (affärsinnovatör, business innovator) — note the correct spelling is “Rickard,” not “Richard” as elsewhere on this page.
• ~October 2025 (Jenny Gustavsson LinkedIn post): reiterates the same inauguration, two 22 kW charging points operational, with three more planned before year-end 2025 (five total). The post states the three additional points would represent “cirka en fjärdedel av kontorets toppeffektbehov” (roughly a quarter of the office’s peak power need). Also cites, from Power Circle: Helsingborg targeting 50% plug-in-capable vehicles by 2030 (~9,000 → 36,000 vehicles); if 10% of V2G-equipped vehicles operated simultaneously, they could contribute ~12% of Helsingborg’s total peak demand on a cold winter day; V2G could supply up to 5 GW of flexibility nationally by 2030.
• Undated (2026, “from early testing to a more stable phase”): “Från elbil till energiresurs” blog post — describes the pilot moving into validation/optimization, testing peak-shaving, spot-price optimization, grid support, and charge/building-load alignment. No chargepoint counts or percentages given here.
• Undated (2026): “När elbilen blir mer än bara ett transportmedel” blog post — confirms five V2G charging points in operation at HQ; quotes Richard Norin (Business Innovator; spelled “Rickard” in the 3 October 2025 post above — this page hasn’t independently verified which spelling this specific undated post uses, since it wasn’t saved as raw) that the goal is to build knowledge before offering customers flexibility; states explicitly no V2G launch date is set yet.
• ~July 2026 (Öresundskraft company LinkedIn post): states V2G is “beginning rollout and commercialization” nationally; confirms the same five charging points ≈ up to a quarter of the building’s peak power need; announces Energy Bank’s move to commercialize via an agreement with Volkswagen, making bidirectional charging available through the Volkswagen Group’s Swedish dealer network; describes Öresundskraft itself as moving “from innovation mode and testing to offering phase.”
• Undated FAQ page (current 2026-09-08): still describes V2G as “fortfarande i ett tidigt skede” (still early-stage) and explicitly not yet a finished commercial offering — “Nej, inte som ett färdigt erbjudande från Öresundskraft. Tekniken är fortfarande under utveckling.” On monetization, it frames value identification as ongoing work rather than a settled revenue model: “En viktig del av arbetet handlar om att identifiera det värden som tekniken skapar – både för energisystemet, för kunder och för ett framtida erbjudande.” No chargepoint counts, capacities, or dates on this page itself. This FAQ page has not been updated to reflect the July 2026 commercialization announcement — treat the FAQ’s “not yet offered” framing as slightly lagging the LinkedIn account’s own more recent “offering phase” language.

Figures cited (Power Circle / Energy Bank, not independently verified by this wiki beyond being repeated across Öresundskraft’s own channels): ~50,000 V2G-capable EVs already on Swedish roads; V2G could supply up to 5 GW of flexibility nationally (~1/6 of Sweden’s peak demand) within a few years.

Quotes: Jenny Gustavsson (Öresundskraft) — announced the HQ station and the ¼-of-peak-demand figure. Richard Norin (Öresundskraft, business innovator) — testing how EVs become system assets both inside and outside facility metering; no launch date set. Christian Jacobsson (CEO, Energy Bank) — cites the ~50,000-EV figure (from the earlier mynewsdesk press release).
