Energy Agency Southern Sweden Logo

Energy Agency Southern Sweden (Energikontor Syd) aims to support and facilitate improvements in energy efficiency and increase the supply of renewable energy sources. Owned by municipalities and regions in Blekinge, Kalmar, Kronoberg and Skåne counties in the South of Sweden, The agency pursues its goals through initiatives and activities targeted at private and public operators. 

On 1 January 2023, the two energy agencies of Southeast Sweden and Skåne merged to form our agency, making Energikontor Syd the largest regional energy agency in our country.  

The goal for our activities and initiatives is that local and regional energy and climate targets are reached, thus creating conditions for achieving the goals on the national and EU level. To be able to support our vision of a sustainable energy system in our region, we have a wide range of expertise. Our experts have technical knowledge of topics like sustainable transport and fuels, energy-efficient housing and building, biomass for heat and power, solar energy, wind power and much more. Our field of expertise also covers knowledge in behavioural changes, strategic planning, sustainable procurement, circular economy, and sustainable business development.   

We support the public sector and the regional businesses by taking initiatives and managing projects, helping them transform into sustainable operations. We do this in several ways, strategically and operationally, in different types of collaboration and development projects. Our overall objective is to change and improve society from an energy and sustainability perspective. 

Since the start in 1999, we have always been impartial, and we have no profit motive. We are one of fifteen regional energy agencies in Sweden, and we have been an active partner in the national organisation Energy Agencies of Sweden (Energikontoren Sverige) and FEDARENE since the start.  Through the years, we have created a wide network and developed firm local and regional knowledge about the energy system and all its key actors. This gives us a unique possibility to facilitate processes, enhance cooperation, and create valuable synergies. 

We are always interested in sharing our knowledge and experiences with others and in gaining new knowledge to better support our region. We are very interested in cooperating with energy agencies and regions all over Europe. You are welcome to contact us any time, and perhaps we can find inspiring opportunities together.
