Electricity

In 2024, Södra produced a total of 1,682 GWh. The surplus amounted to 272 GWh and was delivered to the electricity grid, equivalent to the annual household electricity consumption of over 50,000 detached homes or the electricity required to power more than 120,000 electric cars for a year.

Södra’s member electricity means that households close to our productions sites can access locally produced energy with no climate footprint at a favourable price, because our sustainable processes generate more electricity than they consume.

The forest is a renewable resource that benefits the climate both while it grows and by replacing fossil-based products. During processing, an energy surplus is created which is used to produce fossil-free and locally generated electricity.

Our energy is fossil-free because it’s the surplus electricity generated by our production sites, which produce more electricity than they consume.
