Municipal energy communities

Since the EU Green energy directive 2019/944 was established, the concept of energy communities and what it can and cannot be, has been an ongoing discussion in Sweden, the EU and internationally. Basically, energy communities are about legal persons being part of a non-profit legal entity, which can act on the energy market on the same terms as the traditional players. Municipalities as proactive or participating actors in Energy Communities are still an unexplored concept and the purpose of the feasibility study is to explore the possibilities of this.

Operational climate investments for an accelerated climate transition

This feasibility study will examine how limited climate investment plans for a municipal administration and a municipal company can be designed to clarify how to accelerate the climate transition and make costs and societal benefits visible. The preliminary study will develop operational approaches and an inclusive process to strengthen the local capacity for transition.

Accelerating the transition through climate benefit analysis of investments

The purpose of the study is to introduce methods in the municipality's regular decision-making processes that clarify climate-related benefits in a way that guides investment decisions, and to contribute to actors in the private sector, who are responsible for the majority of climate-related investments in the city, eventually starting to use similar methods in their decision-making processes.

The Journey of the City

The feasibility study will develop scalable processes and frameworks and produce a basis for decisions on climate investments to increase Eskilstuna's and Helsingborg's opportunities to achieve their climate goals. The methodology can be used by other cities. "The city's journey" refers to the seven parts that together constitute the process towards zero emissions. The deliverables will facilitate decisions and financing for measures that take cities towards climate neutrality.

From words to action - Methodology for effective implementation of climate investment plans

Karlstad Municipality and companies in the city have come a long way in climate work, not least through the Climate Neutral Cities 2030 initiative. The work on climate investment plans coincides with the development of a new governance model, which creates a window of opportunity for building the plan into governance processes. The feasibility study will develop training for a common knowledge base in both climate and financial management, develop implementation methodology through service design and develop support tools.

Climate investment feasibility study: sustainable growth and climate-neutral municipality

Upplands-Bro has the largest increase in carbon dioxide emissions among Swedish municipalities since the Paris Agreement. To achieve the goals, a concerted effort is needed together with the business community. The preliminary study will conduct economic analyses of climate measures and, in collaboration with the business community, highlight economic opportunities for climate investments, such as sustainable energy supply and climate requirements in urban development processes.

Environmental shuttle analysis as part of Linköping's climate investment plan

Linköping wants to map the climate impact of the municipality's purchases, through environmental commuting analyses, to increase knowledge of the activities' consumption-based emissions and develop the strategic procurement work. The preliminary study will also activate the business community in the work to reduce their consumption-based emissions.

Uppsala Climate Investment Plan

At present, climate change and economy are mainly handled as isolated issues, and municipal economic processes do not always steer in the same direction as the climate goals. Integration of climate and economic management is needed to effectively steer towards net zero. To meet this need, the feasibility study will develop green financial management where climate investments are linked to financial processes within the municipality.

Making climate investment plans a tool for the climate transition

An important purpose of developing climate investment plans is to look at the total investment needs to achieve climate targets in order to understand the capital requirements of the transition. This feasibility study will further develop the work by exploring future investments that are not initiated to reduce carbon emissions. These investments can account for a large share of future emissions, e.g. in infrastructure and buildings.
