Legislative text proposals accompanying Source - Svk Kompensationsmodell Delrapport 1 (2024). Contains draft law and regulation amendments required to implement the compensation model, plus a detailed analysis of measurement requirements for flexibility resources in internal networks.

Summary

This report presents the specific legal text proposals that would give effect to Delrapport 1’s recommendations. A second major theme is measurement (“mätning”) within interna nät (internal networks — unregulated networks behind the grid connection point, such as inside buildings, industrial sites, or multi-tenant facilities). Correct measurement within internal networks is a prerequisite for verifying flexibility activations at sub-meter resources like EV chargers, batteries, and heat pumps.

Key proposals

New chapter 9a in ellagen — “Stöd- och flexibilitetstjänster”

Existing provisions on support services (stödtjänster) and flexibility services (flexibilitetstjänster) are consolidated into a new chapter 9a. Current provisions on aggregation (8 kap. 13–26 §§) are moved and adjusted to reflect the FSP-centric framework.

New and amended definitions in ellagen 1 kap.

Key new definitions added to ellagen:

TermDefinition
AbonnemangspunktThe point on the licensed grid where the DSO holds a grid agreement with the connected installation’s owner and applies a tariff based on measured energy transfer
Flexibilitetsleverantör (FSP)“aktör som genom avtal med elanvändare eller elproducent kan aktivera flexibilitetsresurser inom elanläggningar och samlat (aggregerat) erbjuda flexibilitetstjänster till elmarknader och nätkoncessionsinnehavare” — an actor who, through agreements with end-users or producers, can activate flexibility resources and offer flexibility services to markets and grid concession holders
FlexibilitetsmätpunktA measurement point within an internal network where transfer to/from a flexibility resource is measured, without being a delivery point
Flexibilitetsresurs”en resurs såsom förbrukning, produktion eller energilager inom en elanläggning som kan ändra energiflödet på externt kommando och som erbjuds såsom en flexibilitetstjänst”
Flexibilitetstjänst”en tjänst som flexibilitetsleverantören genom explicit flexibilitet kan erbjuda marknaden eller nätkoncessionsinnehavaren”
Internt nätA network with high-voltage power lines used without a grid concession
Leveransskyldig elleverantörThe supplier with delivery obligation in an extraction point or injection point

The abonnemangspunkt / leveranspunkt distinction is new and important: the abonnemangspunkt is the physical DSO tariff boundary; leveranspunkter (delivery points for electricity suppliers) can now exist inside internal networks — enabling FSPs to register flexibility resources as their own delivery points without requiring DSO involvement at each resource.

New 4 kap. 48–53 §§ — internal network provisions

New paragraphs governing how internal network holders may charge tenants/users, and how measurement responsibilities are allocated. Key: internal network holders who take on measurement and reporting responsibility are subject to the same rules as licensed grid operators (6, 8, and 11 kap.).

Summaabonnemang (aggregate subscription): if multiple connection points of the same installation connect to the same low-voltage network or same station, the licensed DSO must calculate the aggregate flow in a virtual abonnemangspunkt — preventing artificial splitting of connections to manipulate tariffs.

New “Förordning om mätning av överförd el”

A new regulation consolidating all measurement rules — including for internal networks — to replace the relevant parts of Förordning (1999:716). Key provisions:

  • All measurement of flexibility resources must be per quarter (15 minutes) — no exceptions for resources within internal networks
  • Flexibilitetsmätpunkt: measurement covers transfer to and from the flexibility resource; must be quarter-resolution
  • Measurement within internal networks can use lower regulatory standards when the same customer owns all resources behind the meter — a trade-off accepting lower accuracy in exchange for lower cost, since measurement errors only affect allocation within one customer’s portfolio
  • Entry into force: 2027-01-01 (with one specific paragraph deferred until government decision)

SWEDAC extended mandate

Svk proposes SWEDAC’s mandate be clarified to cover accuracy requirements for integrated measurement in energy products (e.g., built-in meters in EV chargers, batteries, heat pump controllers). The argument: manufacturer self-declaration under modern metering technology is sufficient quality assurance, and avoids the cost overhead of applying full SWEDAC metering-instrument standards to every sub-meter. This would significantly reduce the cost of deploying flexibility resources at scale.

Model 4 consequences analysis: not completed

Explicitly noted in the summary: no consequences analysis was conducted for Model 4 (flexibilitet med kompensation / korrigerad faktura). The reason: key preconditions are missing — no decision on the NC DR outcome, no design for the central information system. Without these, the downstream economic and administrative consequences for suppliers, BRPs, FSPs, and end-customers cannot be quantified. The report is honest about this limitation.

Model 3 (flera leveranspunkter) does have a consequences analysis — covering DSOs, suppliers, BRPs, FSPs, and customers.

Legislative sequencing

Most provisions targeted for entry into force 2027-01-01. The internal-network measurement provisions that depend on the central information system have a deferred entry date (to be set by government decision) — this preserves flexibility to implement in stages.

Relevance to wiki

  • Aggregation — legislative definitions of FSP, flexibilitetsresurs, flexibilitetstjänst; structural design of Model 3 vs Model 4 with abonnemangspunkt/leveranspunkt distinction
  • Elmarknadshubb — central information system as prerequisite for Model 4; cannot do consequences analysis without it; 4–6 year build timeline
  • Distribution System Operator — new obligations for internal network holders; abonnemangspunkt rules; measurement responsibility
  • Flexibility Communication Protocols — flexibilitetsmätpunkt as new measurement concept; quarter-resolution requirement; SWEDAC integrated metering proposal
  • Baseline Methods — measurement architecture underpins reference profile methodology; internal network measurement is the foundation for baseline calculations
