The Swedish Energy Agency is leading the energy transition into a modern and sustainable, fossil free welfare society – applying credibility, a comprehensive approach and courage. 

The Swedish Energy Agency contributes with facts, knowledge, and analysis of supply and use of energy in the society. It also supportz business development that allows commercialisation of energy related innovations, and ensure that promising cleantech solutions can be exported.

EIT Climate-KIC is a Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC), working to accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon economy.

Supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, EIT Climate-KIC identifies and supports innovation that helps society mitigate and adapt to climate change. EIT Climate-KIC believes that a decarbonised, sustainable economy is not only necessary to prevent catastrophic climate change, but presents a wealth of opportunities for business and society.

The European Union’s Directorate General for Energy (DG Ener) is focused on creating a competitive internal energy market to lower prices, to develop renewable energy sources, to reduce energy dependence and to reduce energy consumption. Research and innovation are key pillars of the EU’s energy policy, specifically since low-carbon technologies are essential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to improve the sustainability of the energy system.

Through the EU’s energy union strategy, DG Ener places local communities and municipalities at the heart of the energy transition and helps them tackle energy and climate-related challenges . Moreover, it supports the uptake of new energy technologies, since these can help decrease reliance on external suppliers of fossil fuels, as well as spur job creation and economic growth, in so doing delivering on several of the objectives in the energy union strategy.
