Your Responsibilities – Analysis of the Link Between EU Energy Policy and National Energy Planning

The Policy Analysis unit works with analyses of the EU's and Sweden's energy policy goals and governance. The unit has now been tasked with strengthening the work on our analyses of the EU's impact on Sweden's energy planning.

As an analyst, you will be part of our EU function.

We provide background material, expert knowledge, and support in the work before and during negotiations of EU legal acts and other major EU initiatives.

The EU is increasingly influencing our energy system, and the focus on planning is growing. Here, you will play an important role in our work to strengthen the understanding of the consequences of EU-level initiatives and their impact on the transition and energy planning in Sweden. The work may also involve clarifying local, regional, and national circumstances that are important to consider in EU legislation. This may involve issues related to the electricity grid and other energy infrastructure, permitting processes, and financing issues.

The role entails close collaboration within the EU function and with other colleagues in the agency, as well as cooperation with, among others, the Government Offices and other authorities. As an analyst, you will have the opportunity to develop expert knowledge that can contribute to valuable insights for Sweden's energy planning, strengthen Sweden's position in negotiations, and prepare our organization for upcoming changes.
