Stockholm Exergi product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Stockholm Exergi produces and distributes district heating and district cooling through a 300 km network serving more than 800,000 Stockholm residents and commercial customers, generates electricity from biomass combined heat and power plants, and processes approximately 900,000 tonnes of residual waste per year for energy recovery. The company is constructing Beccs Stockholm, one of the world's first large-scale BECCS facilities, which will permanently capture and geologically store 800,000 tonnes of biogenic CO2 per year and enable sale of verified carbon removal certificates to corporate buyers.
Product overview
Stockholm Exergi operates as a municipal energy company providing district heating, district cooling, and waste-to-energy services to Stockholm. The core offering centers on the 300 km district heating network serving 800,000+ residents. The company is building Beccs Stockholm - one of the world's largest bioenergy carbon capture facilities. The product architecture combines physical energy infrastructure (heating, cooling, waste processing) with a digital services layer centered on the Intelligy Solutions platform, which enables remote monitoring, heat optimization, and indoor climate management. Additional add-on modules include solar panels (via GoSol Energi), EV charging (via ChargeNode), battery storage, heat recovery, and balancing services for the electricity grid. The portfolio includes service packages for housing associations (Start, Insikt, Trygg) and various heat exchanger station configurations (Bas, Standard, Premium).

Stockholm Exergi competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Vattenfall: Swedish state-owned utility and one of Europe's largest district heating and biomass power operators. Vattenfall directly competes in the Swedish/Nordic district heating market and operates comparable biomass-fired CHP infrastructure with active CCS ambitions, making it the closest peer to Stockholm Exergi.
- Göteborg Energi: Municipal energy company for Gothenburg operating district heating, district cooling, and biomass/waste-to-energy generation. Directly comparable business model as a Swedish municipal utility with similar fuel mix and customer base, owned by the City of Gothenburg.
- E.ON Sverige: Swedish arm of E.ON operating district heating and energy services networks across southern Sweden. Competes directly with Stockholm Exergi for industrial and commercial heating customers in Sweden and offers comparable heat optimization and energy services solutions.
- Mälarenergi: Municipal energy company serving Västerås with district heating, electricity, and biomass power generation. Operates similar biomass-fired CHP infrastructure for a Swedish mid-sized city, making it a strong direct peer for operations and scale comparison.
- Öresundskraft: Regional energy utility serving the Malmö/Lund region in southern Sweden with district heating, electricity, and gas services. Comparable municipal-style utility model with similar district heating infrastructure serving Swedish residential and commercial customers.
Broad incumbents
- Fortum: Finnish state-influenced utility that was the former parent of Stockholm Exergi (then 'Fortum Värme'). Operates district heating across the Nordics and Poland and is pursuing CCS projects at scale; broad incumbent with overlapping capabilities across the same Nordic utility footprint.
- Veolia: Global waste management and energy services company with significant waste-to-energy operations across Europe. Comparable to Stockholm Exergi's 900,000 t/yr waste treatment business and district heating/cooling operations in other European cities, though at much broader scale.
Emerging players
- Aker Carbon Capture: Norwegian carbon capture technology provider pursuing large-scale CCS deployments, including Just Catch and Big Catch modular units. Comparable to Stockholm Exergi in the BECCS/CCS strategic space, though Aker is a technology supplier rather than an integrated utility operator.
- Climeworks: Swiss leader in direct air capture (DAC) carbon removal technology and a leading player in the voluntary carbon removal market alongside Stockholm Exergi. Competes for the same corporate carbon removal buyers (Microsoft, Frontier consortium) with a different but emerging removal technology.
Regional players
- Helsingborg Energi: Municipal energy company serving Helsingborg with district heating and cooling services. Comparable municipal utility model in the Swedish market with similar biomass-based heating infrastructure, though serving a different geography than Stockholm Exergi.
