We participate in PFE

About 100 of Sweden’s most energy intensive industries, with 240 separate production sites, participated in the first five year programme period. Most of these companies have also joined the second programme period, which started in 2009. There are also a number of companies that entered the programme a little bit later than the official programme start. In total, about 110 companies will go through the first programme period.

Participating industries are pulp and paper, wood product, chemical, food and beverages, steel, iron and metallurgy, ore and mining and some other manufacturing industries. In total these companies are using approximately 30 TWh electricity annually, which is about 20 % of the total electricity use in Sweden and more than half of the consumption in the industry sector. In addition, the companies use approximately 80 TWh of other types of energy (fuels and heat).
