Fees for Good Environmental Choice Electricity
The licence fees for electricity labelled with Good Environmental Choice consist of different parts. If you have any questions, please contact us.
The licence fees are regulated in the Special Licence Terms and Good Environmental Choice invoice a forecasted sales volume at the beginning of each calender year.
Every autumn, Good Environmental Choice send an adjustment invoice when the annual inspection is completed. The invoice is based on the volume sold for the financial year. The invoice also include the fund allocation according to the Criteria.
- Application (one-time fee) SEK 10,000
- Annual fixed license fee SEK 5,000
- Annual variable license fee SEK 600 per sold GWh
Additional environmental benefits according to the criteria are achieved through fund provisions in arrears as follows:
- 500 SEK per GWh sold ecolabelled electricity, regardless renewable origin, always goes to the Energy Fund.
- For biofuel-based electricity, where the fuel does not come from close-to-nature forestry, extra allocation to the Good Environmental Choice Forest Fund must be added:
Combustion of biogenic waste 5000 SEK/GWh
Combustion biofuel 5500 SEK/GWh
Ecolabelled hydro power means fund provisions to the Environmental Fund, and the fee depends on which environmental requirements the hydro power plant achieves.
If all the new environmental requirements are achieved at the hydro power plant, the fund provision is 500 SEK per GWh to the Energy Fund.
At most the fund provision can be 6000 SEK per GWh ecolabelled hydropowerbased electricity, which are divided between the Environmental Fund and the Energy Fund.

Lower fees for sales exclusively to other Licence holders
Licence holders who do not sell electricity to end-users, but rather to other Licence holders, are exempt from the variable licence fee and fund allocation.
It is the “last in line” Licence holder that ecolabels renewable electricity by paying a variable licence fee as well as a fund allocation. This is regulated in clause 4.4 of the Special Licence Terms and Conditions.
In this case, the Producer will only be invoiced the basic fee of SEK 5,000 per year at the beginning of each calendar year.
