Industrial ilectricity collaboration
Swedish industry is facing a rapidly growing demand for electricity. The electrification of industrial processes, vehicles and transport is essential to reduce emissions and strengthen competitiveness. At the same time, the increasing demand for electricity risks exceeding available capacity, which could become a barrier to both industrial development and the energy transition.
Against this backdrop, Tranzero Energy has been initiated. The project is a strategic collaboration initiative aimed at creating a clearer understanding of industry’s current and future electricity needs, as well as identifying solutions to balance energy supply and power capacity.
Using an industrial cluster on Hisingen in Gothenburg as its first use case, Tranzero Energy maps electricity demand over time, identifies capacity gaps and analyses the technical, organisational and commercial solutions required to secure access to fossil-free electricity. The focus is on developing solutions that are feasible, competitive and relevant in the long term.
The project is built on broad collaboration between industry, energy companies, academia and public-sector stakeholders. Through joint analysis, dialogue and knowledge sharing, a shared understanding of challenges and opportunities is created, along with a foundation for concrete actions that strengthen both the energy system and industrial development conditions.
Tranzero Energy is a further development within the framework of the Tranzero Initiative and has a clear focus on energy as a key enabler for electrification, industrial transformation and regional growth.
