Research and Development
We conduct and support research projects to manage critical challenges to the national electricity grid and possible risks in the power system.
We support and carry out research to meet important challenges in the electricity transmission system and dam safety.
Some of our research is done through Energiforsk, a development company partly owned by Svenska kraftnät. We also work with external consultants for specialised studies and analysis.
In addition, we support research projects, PhD studies, and student theses at technical universities across Sweden.
The total budget for research and development is SEK 59 million for 2025.
Four strategic areas of research
The projects are divided into four strategic areas of research:
- New technology
- System challenges
