6 Frequently Asked Questions about “New Energy and Energy Storage Policy in Gothenburg Sweden”
What makes Gothenburg a sustainable city?
Sun, wind and water give Gothenburg sustainable energy. The city has one of the most well-developed district heating systems in the world and we work with innovative energy solutions for the future energy system. Additionally, Gothenburg is an active partner in the European Urban Agenda partnership on energy transition.
What is Gothenburg's Energy Strategy?
While the strategy has three main points of focus – nature, climate and people – one of the principal targets is the transition of the city's energy supply. Gothenburg's development of a clean energy system is characterised by several heating and power plants that produce both heat and electricity through the partial use of fossil fuels.
Does Gothenburg have a thermal energy storage tank?
To achieve this goal, between 2018 and 2021 Gothenburg and Göteborg Energi constructed a thermal energy storage tank to integrate thermal energy storage in the district heating system. This allows the district to accumulate thermal energy during summertime when demand is lower.
Will Göteborg Energi decarbonise its energy system?
Decarbonising the energy system Gothenburg is currently working with its municipally-owned local power company, Göteborg Energi, to decarbonise its energy system and become climate neutral by 2030.
How is energy storage handled in Sweden?
However, the usage of energy storage, for example by using a battery, is not explicitly dealt with in the Swedish Electricity Act. As such, there are no explicit provisions for how energy storage is to be handled from a grid perspective.
How will the Gothenburg battery factory benefit the environment?
In a unique collaboration between the city and the battery factory, purified wastewater from Gothenburg residents will be used for cooling during production.The heated water will then be reused in the district heating network, benefiting both the environment and the city's residents.
