Showcases of the Energy Equilibrium Platform in Sweden

This autumn, the Energy Equilibrium Platform was featured at two key regional forums, demonstrating its practical value for local energy stakeholders.

Showcase at Ystad Summit

Per-Johan Wik and Alice Petersson, project managers at Sustainable Business Hub, presented the platform during a seminar at Ystad Summit in September, showcasing it as an ideal resource for municipalities seeking to analyse how different choices regarding local energy production will impact their overall energy balance. The seminar also included broader guidance on high-quality energy planning from invited experts.

Tommy Lööf of Energy Key underscored the importance of aiming for more than an “adequate” energy plan. Instead, he argued, plans should be ambitious and serve as genuine drivers of change. He noted several factors essential for developing a strong plan, including alignment with comprehensive and investment plans, clear communication of the plan’s benefits, active collaboration with key stakeholders (such as energy companies, property owners, and industry), and systematic follow-up of achieved results.

Concluding the seminar, Patrik Rom from Nordisk Energioptimering presented a cleaning method for heating and cooling systems that uses carbonic ice, eliminating the need for water or chemicals. The technique significantly improves system efficiency after cleaning.

Presentation at Malmö Energy Lab

In October, Per-Johan Wik also introduced the platform to partners in Malmö Energy Lab, which serves as a regional stakeholder forum for the Energy Equilibrium project. Similar to the Ystad Summit showcase, the presentation focused on how the platform supports municipalities and energy companies in assessing the effects of various local energy production choices on the regional energy balance.

To illustrate the platform’s versatility, the presentation highlighted project partner Tomelilla Municipality’s use of it to analyse the potential impacts of upgrading aging wind turbines.
