The size of the Sweden Renewable Energy Industry market was valued at USD XX Million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD XXX Million by 2032, with an expected CAGR of > 3.50% during the forecast period.Renewable energies are natural replenished. These include solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass. Unlike fossil fuels, however, renewable energy is less and results in climate change. So, renewable energy is a sustainable and also environmentally friendly alternative to using fossil fuels. Sweden has been a leader in switching to renewable energy, with stiff commitment towards reducing fossil use. Sweden has been supported by strong natural resources in wind, hydro, and biomass as the country transitions to a low-carbon economy. Hydropower has been a source of electricity in Sweden for many decades and has thus become clean and reliable energy. Wind power has increased remarkably, with several wind farms located in the Swedish countryside. Feed-in tariffs, tax cuts, and investment subsidies by the government of Sweden towards renewable energy in several policies and incentives: All these supports small-scale, as well as large-scale projects, from utility-scale farms to rooftop installation. Sweden is on her way to global leadership in green energy solutions because she remains committed to an investment in renewable energies and infrastructure for such projects. Recent developments include: In February 2022, Cloudberry Clean Energy secured the 18 MW Munkhyttan Vindkraft onshore wind in Lindesberg, Sweden, which is in the late stage of development. The company announced that it was in the final stage of negotiations with the German turbine supplier Eno-Energy for three 6 MW turbines for the project, and the project is expected to commence commercial operation by 2023/2024. Cloudberry has also secured options under the same terms to develop a second phase, the 18MW Munkhyttan 2 project, and has already started the permit application process., In December 2021, Scandinavian Biogas announced that it will build a biogas plant with local farmers in Grimhult, Sweden. The project is being developed by the company's subsidiary, Mönsterås Biogasproduktion AB, which has received an investment support of EUR 14.9 million from Klimatklivet (a Swedish Environmental Protection Agency program), and plans to invest a total of approximately EUR 48.6 million in the project. The project will convert 300,000 ton of waste from local pigs and poultry into approximately 120 GWh of bio-LNG for use as fuel in trucks, ships, or the industry., In October 2021, Alight announced that it was building three solar farms with a combined capacity of 90 MW, and it had already signed commercial Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with three major industrial players in Sweden. The first agreement was signed with the food conglomerate Martin and Servera for an 18 MW solar project, which is expected to be completed during Q2 2022. The company has also signed PPAs with the sustainable food company Axfood for a 40MW solar park and industrial group Axel Johnson AB for a 30MW solar park, both of which are expected to be completed by H1 2023.. Key drivers for this market are: 4., Increasing Industrial Operations. Potential restraints include: 4., Advancement in Technology such as Photovoltic (PV)Cell. Notable trends are: Hydro Energy is Expected to Dominate the Market.
It is forecast that the price for solar PV power purchase agreements between 2025 and 2034 in Europe will range from an average of roughly *** euros per megawatt hour in Sweden to ** euros per megawatt hour in Italy. Italy is the country with the lowest price estimates for the region, followed by Spain and Portugal.
During the first quarter of 2021, Sweden, Spain, and Denmark were the European countries with the lowest average price of solar PV corporate power purchase agreements, all with a price below ** euros per MWh. By comparison, Austria was the country with the highest price with an average of ** euros per MWh.
