Stockholm, Sweden
Sthlmflex is an ongoing R&D project that has created and tests a flexibility
market in Greater Stockholm. The project aims to release electrical power to
the strained capacity situation for electricity supply in the area. Sthlmflex is the
only flexibility market in Sweden that, in addition to increased coordination
between DSO and TSO, also tests increased coordination and cooperation
between DSOs.
Svenska Kraftnät, Ellevio and Vattenfall Eldistribution have chosen to jointly find
solutions to the congestion problem and the operating situation in the
Stockholm region. The project guarantees the security of delivery for utility
customers in the Stockholm region and enables connection of new customers,
both by buying flexibility services, but also by increasing capacity with a total
regional subscription thanks to increased coordination.
