In Sweden, the grid operator is obliged to connect electricity generation systems to the grid, transmit electricity and expand the grid. Renewable energy is not given priority. Companies operating a district heating network are obliged to negotiate terms to connect a heating plant. If no agreement can be met, the operator of district heating network shall grant a regulated grid access to this heat generation plant.

Concerning policies promoting the development, installation and use of RES-installations, there is a grant for research and development in the field of wind energy.
