Electrified Flexible Industry

Purpose and goal

 Elflexibel Industri aims to strengthen the competitiveness of Swedish industry through advanced digitalization enabling flexible electricity use and reduces strain on the power grid. The goal is system change with innovation, efficiency and a resilient energy system where industry becomes an active resource. Smart control, energy sharing, new business models, and a national digital twin—enabled through collaboration between Industry, Energy and Grid companies, Academia, and Innovation actors.

Expected effects and result

The project is expected to reduce power peaks and grid capacity constraints, while enabling real-time insight into energy use. AI-based control and flexibility solutions will improve energy efficiency and enable new business models. In the long term, it will create a more resilient and climate-friendly energy system, strengthen competitiveness, and deliver scalable solutions with export potential.

Planned approach and implementation

The project is carried out through a number of demonstrations where manufacturing companies, energy and grid copmpanies test solutions in real-world environments. The work is iterative across innovation, business models, regulation, and cybersecurity—from analysis, development to implementation—supported by AI, data platforms, national digital twin for simulation and validation. Results are shared and scaled through learning and collaboration between industry, academia and innovation actors.
