The goal of achieving carbon neutrality for year 2045 puts Sweden on a road towards further implementation of renewable energy into their energy system. The goal of this degree project is to investigate how the implementation of renewable energy in Sweden is worked towards on a regional level but also to explore how this expansion might look for the Norra Småland Region. By conducting several semi-structured interviews with the energy agencies of Sweden as well as creating a model for the potential solar and wind power expansion in the Norra Småland Region, the authors aim to answer the questions of how the current work with expanding the renewable energy share in the Swedish energy system is conducted; what bottlenecks, problems and challenges exist and what tools, data, information and incentives might help further facilitate this work. Through the interviews conducted, this degree project encapsulates the different projects related to the subject of renewable energy which the various regions of Sweden work with. The degree project also provides a compilation of various challenges related to the projects as well as an insight into what tools and incentives are asked for by the regions with the goal of helping facilitate the work conducted. The degree project also provides a projection for how the future expansion of wind power and solar power might look in the Norra Småland Region based on the previous expansion trends, resulting in three individual projections with individual growth rates.
