With the five pulp mills, ten sawmills and other operations, Södra turns over such vast amounts of energy that it is difficult to relate to the figures. For example Södra turns over bio- energy of over 40 TWh, which corresponds to nearly 4 million cubic meters of heating oil.
Electrical production for 2006 amounted to 1401 GWh and after 2007 will rise to 1800 GWh, which corresponds to the electrical consumption of a city the size of Malmö. The increase in electrical production that Södra has invested in corresponds to 40 % of all the energy presently generated by wind power in Sweden. Södra is responsible for 10 percent of the Swedish production of renewable electricity (entitled to electrical certificate). The increased production of renewable electricity will be sold on the market.
Södra Cell and Södra Timber have entered a long-term agreement with the Swedish Energy Agency to work towards becoming more electricity efficient companies. Within Södra Cell the objective is to be 2 % more electrically efficient in the years 2006 – 2008, which will mean an improvement in electrical efficiency of 30 GWh, or the household electricity for 6 000 small houses, or the electrical production of 5 modern wind turbines.
