Today we have 4,200 online customers in three different municipalities, the largest share in Karlskrona municipality. Rödeby Elverk ekonomisk förening has two subsidiaries, Rödeby Energi AB and Rödeby Kraft AB. Rödeby Energi AB, which conducts electricity trading to about 4,000 customers, was started in 1996. Rödeby Kraft AB is the owner of a hydropower plant and several solar panels that we have on the roofs of our facilities. Together with Solect Power AB, we have started the company BlekingeSol, which today owns our two photovoltaic parks. As part of our work on renewable electricity, Rödeby Elverk owns shares in wind turbines in Blekinge. At Rödeby Elverk, which is located along road 28 in Rödeby, there are currently a total of 8 employees. Investing, expanding and maintaining the electricity grid is part of our everyday life. Welcome to the small network company but the big service! How does the electricity network work? In order for the electricity produced, e.g. from hydropower and solar cells, should come to you and it will be transported via the electricity grid. Sweden's electricity grid is divided into main grid, regional grid and local grid. The main grid is owned and operated by the state-owned enterprise Svenska Kraftnät. The main grid is the electricity equivalent of the "motorway". From the main grid, the electricity is transferred to the regional grids, which can be compared with "country roads" that transport the electricity on to the local distribution grids. The regional network is owned and operated to a greater extent by Eon, Vattenfall and Ellevio. The local networks can be compared with our "small roads". They are owned and operated by over 150 electricity grid companies that transfer electricity from the regional grid to end customers. Rödeby Elverk is one of these electricity network companies. Sometimes it happens that there are disturbances on the regional network that affect us on Rödeby Elverk's local network. This is because the electricity to Rödeby Elverk's network comes from the regional network via a number of receiving stations. The difference between electricity networks and electricity trading? As a customer, you have two different agreements when it comes to electricity. One is an electricity network agreement and is signed with the electricity network company that owns the network where you live. Rödeby Elverk economic association is an electricity network company. We are responsible and charge for the operation and maintenance of the power lines. The other contract is an electricity supply contract and that you have with electricity suppliers. They charge for the electricity you actually consume. In Sweden, all electricity users can choose an electricity supplier freely, but the actual transfer of electricity takes place via the electricity network company that owns the electricity network where the customer lives or has his business. This means that all electricity users are customers of two companies in the electricity market - an electricity trading company that purchases electricity and an electricity network company that distributes the electricity to the customer's home. Sometimes these can be part of the same group, but there are always two different companies. GDPR On 25 May 2018, the EU's new data protection regulation, GDPR, entered into force.
