Renewable Energy

The share of electricity from renewable sources such as solar and wind increases when costs fall and the ambitions to achieve a climate change increase.We conduct research that ensures the demand for electricity with low emission levels.

To achieve the climate goals, technological and social science knowledge is needed that can strengthen the understanding of solar and wind as part of the total power system. The supply of renewable electricity in the power system is a success factor for the industrial and transport sectors to become climate neutral. Today, solar and wind power make up almost a fifth of all electricity used in Sweden. But to meet the target, energy production from renewable sources may need to be tripled by 2045.
