Open a Regulated entity holding account

Here you will find information on how to apply to open a regulated entity holding account. The account can be opened in the Union registry from 1 June 2026, but you can start the application process from 1 May in the Swedish Energy Agency’s e-service.

Operators covered by the Act (2020:1173) on certain greenhouse gas emissions and thus required to report emissions and surrender emission allowances need to open a regulated entity holding account in the Union Registry. The account is free of charge.  

To open a regulated entity holding account in the registry, you as an operator must have a valid permit to emit greenhouse gases. The permits are issued by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.  

When applying for an account, you need to register as a representative and apply for an account on the Union Registry website. If all representatives are already users in the Union Registry, you can go directly to step 2.
