Ellevio is one of Sweden's largest energy companies and thus an important enabler of the climate transition. By 2045, electricity consumption in Sweden is expected to more than double. This means that investments in our electricity grid are among the most important things we do. We are undertaking extensive investment projects to modernize, digitize, weatherproof, and expand the electricity grids, as well as create conditions for the connection of new fossil-free production. We believe in a bright and sustainable future, do you?
