Here is information that you as an electricity market customer at Svea Solar are entitled to according to the Energy Markets Inspectorate's regulations and general advice on electricity suppliers' information to electricity users (EIFS2024:2)

Influence your electricity cost with demand flexibility

As an electricity customer, you can lower your electricity bill while contributing to a better balance between supply and demand in the electricity market through conscious choices, known as demand flexibility. By having electricity contracts with hourly rates and being flexible about when electricity usage occurs, you can shift your electricity consumption to times when electricity prices are lower. While saving money, you can help reduce the risk of power shortages in the grid. Read more about demand flexibility at the Energy Markets Inspectorate.
