Regeringen Uppdrag Svk Flaskhalsinkomster Överskott (2026)

The government’s page for its assignment (regeringsuppdrag) to Affärsverket svenska kraftnät to report the annual surplus of congestion income (flaskhalsinkomster) and propose uses for it, published 23 September 2026 (diary number KN2026/01699, Klimat- och näringslivsdepartementet). Only the page text was saved; the 119 kB PDF of the decision that the page links to was not downloaded, so anything that appears only in the formal decision (for example reporting details or financing) is not covered here. Svk referred to the assignment in its news item of 28 September 2026 (Source - Svk Transmissionsnätsavgift 2027 (2026)).

What Svk is asked to do

1. Report how much congestion income is needed each year to (a) sufficiently meet the so-called priority objectives in Art. 19 of Regulation (EU) 2019/943 and (b) carry out a tariff reduction at a level that counters large, sudden rises in the transmission tariff.
2. Cover 2027–2031, and estimate for each year how much congestion income remains after that planned use, reported as a surplus. The calculation is to take account of the existing accumulated balance and expected future inflows; planned use after 2031 is not to be considered.
3. Propose other purposes the surplus could be used for, beyond the priority objectives and tariff reduction. The uses are to benefit Swedish electricity customers or the Swedish electricity system and to let funds be used faster than they otherwise would be.
4. Take into account Ei’s report from the assignment on the use of congestion income, due by 30 October 2026 (KN2025/02354, in part, and KN2025/02401).
5. Report to the Government Offices (Klimat- och näringslivsdepartementet) by 14 January 2027.

Relevance to wiki

• Sets the government’s framing for Flaskhalsinkomster: a balance of about 90.9 GSEK projected at end-2027 is now to be split into needed uses, tariff reduction and a surplus with new use proposals.
• The tariff-reduction part is exactly what shapes the 2027 step in Transmission Network Charge: the wording “counters large, sudden rises” matches Svk’s stepwise return toward full cost coverage.
• Svk’s director-general says Svk is also looking at further measures within the existing rules if the price situation worsens over the winter (Source - Svk Transmissionsnätsavgift 2027 (2026)).
• Ei’s parallel report (due 30 October 2026) is on the regulatory calendar; see Source - Ei Regleringsbrev 2026.
