Bergs Tingslags Elektriska

What Bergs Tingslags Elektriska does

Bergs Tingslags Elektriska AB (Btea) is a municipally owned Swedish electricity distribution system operator (DSO) headquartered in Åsarna, Bergs kommun, Jämtland, and operating under a state-issued nätkoncession granted by the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate (Ei). The company distributes electricity across southern Jämtland and parts of Härjedalen and Medelpad to roughly 9,000 network customers through low-voltage and medium-voltage grid assets built and maintained by Btea. It is wholly owned by Bergs kommun via the holding company Bergab AB, and the board includes municipal and political representatives; the firm was founded in 1913 and runs with a small headcount of 11-50 employees.

The core product is regulated electricity grid access priced through Ei-approved tariffs that blend fixed annual fees (5,754-22,720 SEK/year incl. VAT, scaling with main fuse size from 16A to 63A) with proposed demand-based power components introduced in October 2025. Btea deploys smart meters with open HAN ports enabling customer-side data access, supports customers integrating rooftop solar, battery storage, and EV chargers, and operates a Btea mobile app for service, fault reporting, and HAN data presentation. Through wholly-owned subsidiary Btea Energi AB, Btea also distributes district heating to roughly 80-82 connections (36 villas, 42 multi-family dwellings, 4 subscribers in Rätan), with combined heat output around 10.6 GWh annually and operating area expansion into additional Bergs kommun locales.

Revenue derives primarily from regulated network tariffs invoiced to end-customers (with Fyrfasen serving as the default electricity supplier), connection fees for new grid attachments, ancillary service charges, and the smaller district heating business run via Btea Energi AB. Btea is governed by Ei regulations, which cap allowed revenue and tie return to capital base and quality metrics; the company's strategic activity in 2025-2026 has centered on tariff redesign, regulatory approvals, mobile/digital service launches, and continuation of municipal ownership stewardship rather than commercial expansion.

Revenue model

1. Electricity Network Revenue: Btea's primary revenue from regulated electricity network fees charged to all customers within its concession area. Network fees consist of a fixed subscription fee based on main fuse size, a variable energy transfer fee per kWh, and a demand-based power fee based on peak hourly consumption. Revenues are regulated by Energimarknadsinspektionen (Ei) through a fixed revenue cap (intäktsram) for the period 2024–2027.
2. Connection Fees: One-time fees charged for new electricity connections, including connection to the grid and installation of metering equipment. Pricing is distance-based (minimum 43,300 SEK ex. VAT for 16–25A connections up to 200m, plus per-meter charges for longer distances). Also includes temporary construction power connections.
3. District Heating Revenue (via Btea Energi AB): Revenue from district heating services via subsidiary Btea Energi AB (org.nr. 5562124122). Includes fixed annual subscription fees, power capacity fees (kr/kW), and energy consumption fees (öre/kWh). Offered in Svenstavik and Rätan.
4. Micro-production Compensation: Btea pays micro-producers (solar PV up to 43.5 kW, fuse ≤63A) 6.5 öre/kWh compensation for grid benefit (nätnytta) from their surplus electricity fed back into the local distribution network.
5. Power Fee (Effektavgift): A demand-based fee calculated on the customer's highest average hourly power draw during the billing month. Introduced October 2025 in compliance with Energimarknadsinspektionen regulations, with higher rates during high-load hours (06:00–21:00) in winter months (December–February). Provides customers ability to reduce costs by spreading electricity usage.
