What Elkejdan does

Elkedjan (Svenska Elkedjan AB) is a member-owned cooperative and Sweden's only nationwide electrical installation chain, founded in 1966 as Centex and headquartered in Anderstorp, Småland. The organization comprises approximately 160 locally owned and operated electrical installation companies that collectively employ nearly 1,900 certified electricians across approximately 200 locations from Kiruna in the north to Ystad in the south. Member companies are co-owners of the central purchasing organization, which provides centralized procurement, logistics, marketing, training (Elkedjan Academy), and quotation support through its chain office.

The company's core business is electrical installation services for residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural customers, with a growing smart energy portfolio organized under five pillars: SKAPA (solar panels), LAGRA (battery storage, including the Qapasity Arctic Series Semi Solid State battery launched with Qapasity in February 2026), LADDA (EV charging solutions from brands including Zaptec, Charge Amps, Garo, Defa, NexBlue, and Phasebox), DELA (energy sharing via IMD systems), and STYRA (energy control and management). The smart energy offering is integrated with payment and energy management platforms such as Monta and Tibber.

Elkedjan generates revenue through a hybrid model: (1) member purchasing fees and centrally negotiated supplier agreements, (2) electrical installation services delivered locally by member companies, (3) smart energy hardware sales with installation included (e.g., Qapasity battery packages from SEK 57,900 after Green Technology tax deduction; EV chargers from SEK 5,949 to SEK 16,399), and (4) central support services including tenders, training, and marketing support for members. Distribution operates through member companies' direct field installation, the website's Laddväljaren (EV charger selector) tool, in-house sales at the Anderstorp headquarters, and field sales representatives visiting members 2-4 days per week. Notable customers include Stockholms Hamnar (Port of Stockholm), Skånetrafiken (electric bus depots), ICA Kvantum, and LBC Logistik. In January 2024, the company launched Elkedjan Invest, a new business area for M&A consolidation of electrical installation companies, marking a strategic shift toward active acquisition-driven growth alongside the cooperative model.

Revenue model

1. Member Membership and Purchasing Fees: Electrical installation companies pay to become members/owners of the Elkedjan purchasing organization. As co-owners, they benefit from collectively negotiated purchasing terms with suppliers, central procurement of electrical installation materials, and shared logistics. The organization generates revenue through centralized purchasing at scale, offering members better pricing than they could achieve individually.
2. Electrical Installation Services: Member electrical companies generate revenue through installation services for end customers (residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural). Services include electrical installation, smart energy solutions (solar, battery, EV charging), lighting, and maintenance. The Elkedjan brand provides a national framework while member companies operate locally.
3. Smart Energy Product Sales and Installation: Sale and installation of smart energy products including solar panels, battery storage systems (Qapasity Arctic Series), EV charging stations (Zaptec, Charge Amps, Garo, Defa, NexBlue, Phasebox), and energy management systems. Products are sold with installation included, with pricing varying by product and configuration. Green Technology (Grön Teknik) tax deductions apply to eligible products.
4. EV Charging Solutions for BRFs and Businesses: Complete EV charging solutions for housing associations (BRF) and commercial properties, including hardware, installation, and payment systems. Partners with Monta for payment solutions enabling residents to pay for charging. Grants available via Naturvårdsverket (up to 50%, max 15,000 SEK per charging point).
5. Central Support Services: The chain office provides members with quotation support for tender procedures, product/materiel knowledge documentation, logistics services, education (Elkedjan Academy), and marketing support. These services create operational efficiency and competitive advantage for member companies.
