Source - Uppdrag Centralt Datahanteringsverktyg (2025)

Metadata

Summary

A formal government decision assigning Ei and Svk jointly to develop a proposal for a centralt datahanteringsverktyg (central data management tool) for the Swedish electricity market. Most significantly: it explicitly cancels the 2015 government mandate to Svk to build an elmarknadshubb. This is a complete policy reset on Swedish electricity market data infrastructure.

The new assignment

Ei coordinates the work and is responsible for submitting necessary legislative proposals (nödvändiga författningsförslag). Svk participates jointly.

Four stated purposes

The datahanteringsverktyg shall:

1. Improve flexibility and grid use — improve possibilities to provide flexibility on the electricity market and enable efficient network utilization through improved and simplified access to data on electricity usage and grid tariffs
2. Streamline data exchange — streamline and facilitate data exchange between electricity market actors in a secure and cost-effective way
3. Improve statistics and policy analysis — improve statistics collection and analysis data for planning, design of policy instruments, and monitoring; the need for information from an energy system planning and totalförsvars (total defence) perspective shall be particularly considered
4. Simplify EU and national legislation implementation — simplify and improve implementation of EU legislation and introduction/implementation of national legislation

Key deliverables

Ei and Svk must jointly propose:

• Which functions the tool should have, what information it should cover, and which actors should have access to different parts
• The cost and timeline for developing the tool and when it can be taken into operation
• How the tool should be owned, managed, and financed
• Risks with a data management tool and how they can be minimised (including risks without a tool, i.e., with today’s data handling)

Risk analysis scope

The risk analysis must at minimum cover:

• Protection of personal data (GDPR)
• Security-classified information (säkerhetsskyddsklassificerade uppgifter)
• Information relating to total defence (totalförsvaret)

Report deadline

30 September 2026 — Ei delivers the proposal to Regeringskansliet (Klimat- och näringslivsdepartementet).

Agencies to consult

The decision requires involvement of multiple government agencies reflecting the security and privacy dimensions:

• Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY) — for privacy risks
• Statens energimyndighet (Swedish Energy Agency)
• Styrelsen för ackreditering och teknisk kontroll (Swedac)
• Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB) — civil defence
• Försvarets radioanstalt (FRA) — signals intelligence
• Försvarsmakten — armed forces
• Säkerhetspolisen (SÄPO) — security police

This security scope is entirely absent from the original 2015 elmarknadshubb mandate — a significant expansion of the problem framing.

The cancellation of the old mandate

“Uppdraget till Affärsverket svenska kraftnät att utveckla och driva en central informationshanteringsmodell (M2015/2635/Ee) ska upphöra.”

(“The assignment to Svenska kraftnät to develop and operate a central information handling model [M2015/2635/Ee] shall cease.”)

The decision provides the government’s reasoning: the new assignment “partially overlaps” with the 2015 mandate, and parts of the old mandate are now “overtaken by events” (i dag är överspelade). Security-related feedback received under the old mandate that is still relevant shall be incorporated into the new assignment.

This explicitly terminates 10 years of Svk-led elmarknadshubb work.

Design baseline

The new tool shall be designed based on the current market model (nuvarande marknadsmodellen) as the starting point. This explicitly abandons the supplier-centric model ambition that was embedded in the original elmarknadshubb concept.

Policy anchors and references cited

The decision situates the new assignment in an explicit policy chain:

Aggregation compensation — an explicit use case

The government decision specifically names compensation for independent aggregation as a function that requires a central data management tool:

“ett datahanteringsverktyg är nödvändigt för en effektiv administrering av kompensation vid oberoende aggregering”

(“a data management tool is necessary for efficient administration of compensation for independent aggregation”)

This is the EU Clean Energy Package’s Art. 13 requirement that aggregators can operate without supplier consent, and that a settlement mechanism exists for any energy transfers between BRPs — a function that currently has no standardized infrastructure in Sweden.

Relevance to wiki

This is the central Swedish policy event for electricity market data infrastructure in 2025–2026:

• Elmarknadshubb: the page title should be understood as covering both the old elmarknadshubb concept (paused 2020, cancelled 2025) and the new datahanteringsverktyg mandate. This source is the definitive statement of the new direction.
• Ei: Ei now leads (not Svk) the Swedish data infrastructure work for the electricity market. Report due September 2026 — an active process throughout 2026.
• Svenska kraftnät: old mandate cancelled; Svk participates in new assignment under Ei’s coordination.
• Network Code on Demand Response: the government explicitly names the NC DR FIS requirement as context for the new tool. The datahanteringsverktyg is in effect Sweden’s FIS development vehicle.
• Aggregation: the explicit call-out of aggregation compensation as a required function is a direct acknowledgement that independent aggregation (CEP Art. 13) cannot be properly administered without central data infrastructure.
• Flexibility Market: data access barrier for small actors is explicitly named (SOU 2025:47’s finding that better data handling reduces threshold for new actors).
