Sweden: Solar electricity generation
Sweden: Solar electricity generation, billion kilowatthours: The latest value from 2023 is 3.1 billion kilowatthours, an increase from 2 billion kilowatthours in 2022. In comparison, the world
Solar power accounted for 2.1% of Sweden's electricity generation in 2024, up from less than 0.1% in 2010. In 2023, Sweden's largest solar park was an 18MW facility in Skurup built by solar developer Alight AB, which produces energy for Martin & Servera.
The Swedish solar cell market is still limited, with solar energy accounting for around 1 per cent of the total energy generated. In the transition to a sustainable society, wave power may be an important technology in the future, but it is still relatively undeveloped – both in Sweden and abroad.
This surge includes approximately 67.6 MW from centralized ground-mounted PV parks and 1 533.3 MW from distributed PV systems, predominantly for self-consumption. Total Installed PV Capacity: By the end of 2023, Sweden's total installed PV capacity reached nearly 4 000 MW, a 67% increase from the previous year.
In Sweden, wind is one of the main renewable sources of electricity, accounting for roughly 17 percent of electricity generation in 2021 and producing more than 27 terawatt hours. This figure has increased nearly eightfold over the last decade.
