Government decision (Regeringsbeslut). Reference: KN2025/01694; Regeringsbeslut I:2 Signed by: Ebba Busch (minister) and Jan-Olof Lundgren Recipient: Affärsverket svenska kraftnät

Summary

The formal government decision assigning Svenska kraftnät to review the transmission grid connection process and electricity market access. This is the mandate letter that the Source - Svk Anslutningsprocessen Webb (2025) page describes in overview and that Source - Svk Anslutningsprocessen Rapport (2026) responds to. Provides the formal decision reference, motivation, and backstory.

Key content

Assignment scope

Five areas of analysis (same as documented in Source - Svk Anslutningsprocessen Webb (2025)). Key additions from the formal text:

• The assignment covers both connections under ellagen 4 kap. 7 § and private civil-law commitments to build individual lines to another party’s connection point
• Svk is required to consult: Ei, DSO system operators, Accelerationskontoret (committee for facilitating industry’s green transition, KN 2024:05), large electricity consumers, and other affected actors
• Deadline: April 30, 2026 (met — report submitted April 29, 2026)

Accelerationskontoret

The assignment explicitly names the Accelerationskontoret (dir. 2024:57) as a required consultation party. This committee has a government mandate to facilitate industry’s green transition, with authority to negotiate and propose solutions where slow processes and goal conflicts are obstacles. Its named role signals that the assignment is framed as an industrial competitiveness measure, not only a technical grid management tool.

Backstory — prior assignments

The decision traces the policy history:

• June 2023: Two government assignments on connection process efficiency: KN2023/03425 (to Svk — clarify and develop guidance for new connections to the transmission grid; completed January 31, 2024) and KN2023/03426 (to Ei — investigate improved information sharing for new connection applications; completed March 27, 2024)
• 2024 regleringsbrev: Svk assigned to describe TSO-DSO network planning cooperation and visualize where connections should go — delivered as Planering för ökad elanvändning (Source - Svk Planering för ökad elanvändning (2025), KN2025/00635, February 2025)
• The September 2025 decision builds on all prior work to take further steps

Parliamentary framing

Two riksdag-adopted goals (voted May 29, 2024):

• Leveranssäkerhetsmål: The Swedish electricity system shall have the ability to deliver electricity where demand exists, at the right time and in sufficient quantity, to the extent that is socioeconomically efficient
• Planeringsmål: The system shall provide conditions to deliver the electricity needed for increased electrification and the green transition; the goal is to ease planning to meet an electricity need of at least 300 TWh by 2045
