Malung-Salen's Electricity Network

What Malung-Salen's Electricity Network does

Malung-Sälens Elverk is a municipally owned utility company (kommunalt aktiebolag) wholly owned by Malung-Sälens kommun in Dalarna, Sweden, with roots dating to 1914. The company operates three integrated business lines: electricity grid distribution (concession area covering the municipality), open fiber broadband networks, and corporate occupational health services (Företagshälsa). It serves approximately 17,263 grid customers through a smart-metered network and also produces electricity from four in-house hydroelectric power stations with minimum guaranteed production of 21 GWh, alongside subsidiaries spanning Elnät, Energi, Fibernät, and Företagshälsa.

Technically, the core platform is a regulated low- and medium-voltage distribution grid monitored via SCADA, complemented by a fully deployed AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) fleet of 17,263 smart meters and a Home Area Network (HAN) port enabling customer-side energy visibility. The Kraftsamling Sälenfjällen program is currently doubling grid capacity in the ski-resort corridor to meet one of Dalarna's fastest-growing load profiles. The fiber business delivers open-access broadband to residential and business premises, while Företagshälsa provides B2B occupational health contracts to regional employers.

The business model is a regulated asset-base tariff structure combined with ancillary commercial revenue. Grid tariffs follow Energimarknadsinspektionen-approved schedules — fixed fees ranging from 17 SEK/month (low-voltage single) to 139 SEK/month (higher-tension), power charges from 38.50 to 130.63 SEK/kW, and energy-distribution charges. Fiber and corporate health represent non-regulated revenue streams layered onto the regulated utility core, with broadband expansion partially funded by PTS grants (10.68M SEK awarded in 2021).

Revenue model

1. Electricity Grid Transmission Fees: Revenue from regulated grid fees charged to all customers connected to the Malung-Sälens electricity distribution network. Fees include a fixed component (based on fuse size, e.g., 16A–63A), a variable energy-based component, and an effective power-based charge. Prices are regulated by the Energy Market Inspectorate (Energimarknadsinspektionen). Summer rates apply April–October; winter rates November–March, reflecting seasonal demand differences.
2. Fiber Network Services: Revenue from providing fiber broadband infrastructure to households and businesses in Malung-Sälens municipality. Fiber services are distributed through third-party service providers (internet operators) via the open-access network model. The company owns and maintains the passive fiber infrastructure, while service providers deliver internet, TV, and telephone services over it.
3. Corporate Health Services (Företagshälsa): Revenue from occupational health services provided to businesses in Malung-Sälens municipality and surrounding areas. Services include health examinations, drug testing, HLR (CPR) training, TBE vaccination, and rehabilitation support. Billed per service or through service agreements with corporate clients.
4. Grid Connection Fees: One-time fees charged for new connections to the electricity grid, calculated using the Energy Market Inspectorate's standardized method based on distance and fuse size (16–250A). Index-adjusted annually. Also covers fiber connection fees for new properties.
