Sölvesborgs Energi

Sölvesborgs Energi is a Swedish municipal utility company based in Sölvesborg, in Blekinge County. It is owned by Sölvesborg Municipality and supplies residents and businesses with electricity, district heating, water and sewerage services, and fibre-optic broadband. The company describes its mission as ensuring that "you have electricity and district heating in the pipes, water in the tap and access to the fibre network," and it frames its work as "kraft med omtanke" — power with care — reflecting a commitment to local development and future confidence in Sölvesborg. The company operates across several utility segments. On the electricity side, it runs the local distribution network and also acts as an electricity trading company (elhandelsbolag), meaning customers anywhere in Sweden can choose Sölvesborgs Energi as their electricity supplier regardless of who owns the local grid. In district heating, it produces and distributes heat, and it has been investing in a new wood-chip-fired district heating plant. Its water and sewerage operations connect properties to the municipal water and wastewater network, with service applications and water meter replacements handled directly by the company. Its fibre network offers speeds of up to 1000 Mbit/s on an open network, allowing customers to choose their own service provider. As a municipal company, Sölvesborgs Energi is not listed on any stock exchange and is ultimately accountable to the residents of Sölvesborg through the municipality. Its operations are closely tied to local infrastructure and community development, and it engages in long-term planning such as network development plans for the electricity grid. The company also communicates regularly with customers through its website, including pages for "Mina sidor" (My Pages), outage reporting, SMS services, moving notifications, and customer service. Recent news from the company's website highlights ongoing projects and community engagement, including participation in Dagvattnets dag (Stormwater Day), the commissioning of a new wood-chip-fired district heating plant, consultation on its electricity network development plan, and recruitment for a lighting technician to maintain street lighting. These activities illustrate the company's broad role in maintaining and developing essential local infrastructure in Sölvesborg.
