During 2016 electricity consumption increased in Sweden for the second year in a row. However, electricity production for 2016, totalling 152.5 TWh, was greater than Sweden's consumption. The Swedish Energy Agency presents this and other data in the Annual energy statistics (electricity, gas and district heating).

Since 2015, the Swedish Energy Agency has been conducting an initiative aimed at reducing the use of energy, increasing the share of renewable energy and reducing the climate impact at small and medium-sized enterprises. The goal that the Agency is working towards is for energy usage at small and medium-sized enterprises to decrease by 10 per cent of added value by 2023.
