The year 2024 has started on a positive note for Sweden''s renewable energy sector, particularly in wind power production. Recent statistics from the Swedish Wind Energy Association reveal
A new study from KTH Royal Institute of Technology [59.35°N, 18.01°E] into Sweden''s energy system shows that balancing renewable energy, particularly wind power, with
All technologies demonstrate some degree of cost variability, based on project size, location, and access to key infrastructure (such as grid interconnections, fuel supply, and transportation). For
The impact of energy storage costs on renewable energy integration and the stability of the electrical grid is significant. Efficient battery energy systems help balance the
Wind power prices, on the other hand, are more stable and range between €60 and €80/MWh. This indicates that wind energy in Europe tends to be less location-dependent than solar energy. However, the key question is: How do these prices compare with the capture prices?
Solar has also seen rapid growth in Sweden, with about 1 GW of solar added in 2022 and 1.6 GW in 2023. As of today, the total capacity solar installed in Sweden has surpassed 4 GW. Figure 1: Expansion of wind energy production and capacity in Sweden in recent years.
By the end of 2023, installed wind capacity was 16.4 GW. It is projected to grow to 55 TWh in 2026, contributing to 28% Sweden's power generation. Solar has also seen rapid growth in Sweden, with about 1 GW of solar added in 2022 and 1.6 GW in 2023. As of today, the total capacity solar installed in Sweden has surpassed 4 GW.
In 2024, wind power accounted for approximately 20% of Europe's electricity production (25% in Sweden). The goal is to increase the share of wind power to 34% by 2030 and over 50% by 2050. The EU installed 13 gigawatts (GW) of wind power in 2024: 11.4 GW of onshore wind and 1.4 GW of offshore wind.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, 224 MW of wind turbines were ordered in Sweden. Throughout the entire year, turbines with a total installed capacity of 446 MW have been ordered. The two orders in the last quarter of 2024 break the trend of two consecutive quarters without orders.
Sweden continues to see a significant need to expand new electricity production. By 2035, the industry is expected to increase its consumption from around 40 TWh today to just under 120 TWh – despite delays in several large projects. The uncertainty regarding the need for electricity up to 2050 is high, based on current forecasts.
