The vision of Mistra Electrification is to accelerate the development towards a sustainable and efficient energy system.
More about the program
The First Year
We are proud to present the first annual report for Mistra Electrification, a new research programme on electrification of our Society that launched on June 1st, 2021. Dig in and read about the activities and achievements in the five work packages during the first seven months of the programme.
Mistra Electrification Annual Report 2021
About our research
The programme has a shared leadership between Energiforsk and Chalmers University of Technology. Energiforsk acts program host, having responsibility for the overall management and administration, while scientific leadership is provided by Chalmers University of Technology. An additional four academic partners are involved in the research conducted in the five interlinked work packages (WP1-5).

Our research
WP1
WP1 – Scenarios, stakeholder involvement and synthesis
The first work package provides a structured process for the interaction with stakeholders throughout the program.
WP2
WP2 – Electrification and sector integration
This work package analyzes pathways for the Swedish and Northern European electricity systems that address the anticipated electrification of the transport and industry sectors.
WP3
WP3 – Non-technical feasibility
In the third work package we'll assess whether key elements of the electricity transition pathways, especially the rate of the transitions, modeled in WP2 are feasible.
WP4
WP4 – Social acceptability of energy infrastructure
The focus of WP4 is understanding the social acceptability of the energy infrastructure solutions identified in WP2 as necessary to achieve climate neutrality.
WP5
WP5 – Economy-wide and distributional effects
Using a modeling approach and unique empirical data, the fifth work package will shed empirical light on Sweden’s ability to be an early mover in decarbonization.
