Revenue model

1. Electricity Sales (Elhandel): Bodens Energi sells electricity to customers in Boden municipality. Customers can choose between fixed-price contracts (1–4 years) and variable/rörligt price contracts. A new 6-month fixed winter price contract was introduced in 2024. Revenue is derived from electricity commodity, grid fees, and associated services.
2. District Heating (Fjärrvärme): Bodens Energi operates a district heating network supplying heat to residential and commercial properties in Boden. Pricing is based on subscribed capacity (kW) and energy consumption, using degree-day adjustments. Revenues from heat sales are supplemented by electricity co-generation from the CHP plant. A new pricing model for residential customers takes effect 2026-08-01.
3. Electricity Grid (Elnät): Bodens Energi owns and operates the local electricity distribution network in Boden. Revenue is generated through regulated network tariffs based on subscribed capacity and consumption. The company manages approximately 2,280 km of power lines, including 700 km of overhead lines.
4. Broadband/Fiber (via Bodens Stadsnät): Through its 60%-owned subsidiary Bodens Stadsnät, Bodens Energi operates an open-access fiber network. Revenue comes from wholesale access fees paid by ISPs and potentially direct consumer broadband services. Bodens Stadsnät won a contract from Boden municipality to expand fiber to rural areas.
5. Smart Services (SmartVärme, VärmeHjälpen): Premium smart heating services including SmartVärme (smart thermostat control) and VärmeHjälpen (service agreement) are offered as add-on services to district heating customers. These generate additional recurring service revenue and enhance customer retention.
