Distribution system
From our production plants, we pump water into a pipeline network that reaches thousands of buildings throughout greater Stockholm.

Demand for sustainable energy drives us forward
We meet Stockholm’s heating, electricity and cooling needs through efficient and flexible energy production. In our plants we create district heating from the solar energy stored in biofuels, from wastewater waste heat and from non-recyclable waste, and also where we extract cooling from seawater.
Facts about our production system
- Circular energy recovery – A large proportion of the energy in the system comes from the recovery of residual heat, from waste incineration and from biofuels. This helps makes the energy supply more sustainable
- Flexible production – The company has several production plants, including at Värtan, Brista, Högdalen, Hässelby and Hammerby. These plants are able to use different types of fuel such as biofuel, waste and electricity to optimize energy production as needed
- Electricity generation – Stockholm Exergi also produces electricity at CHP plants for delivery to Stockholm’s electricity grid, which helps stabilize the energy supply
