Abstract
The conversion of the energy system towards sustainability is a major challenge for society. The conversion includes a large-scale introduction of renewable electricity and the electrification of transport. Adaptations of the grid are needed in order to cope with this development: - Facilitate an increased introduction of renewable electricity; - Enabling power reduction at peak load; - Improve incentives for energy efficiency; - Creating conditions for more active purchasers of electricity. Security of supply must be high, although the new production affects the electricity grid in a different way than today. Therefore, new technical solutions, a so-called smart grid, is necessary in order to, inter alia, prevent congestion and over voltages, but also to enhance the operational safety in general. There is new technology that can help adjust the grid in an efficient and flexible way. Intelligent networks, or smart grids, is the collection of new technology, function and regulatory framework in the electricity market, etc. that cost-effectively facilitate introduction and utilization of renewable electricity generation, leading to reduced energy consumption, contributes to power reduction in peak load and creates conditions for active electricity customers. Sweden is one of the countries that score high in terms of active electricity customers

As for modern technology to increase transmission capacity of transmission networks such as HVDC and FACTS technology, Sweden is a world leader.

The investigation has resulted in the following proposals: - A knowledge platform created to be collect and disseminate relevant knowledge of research, development and demonstration to all stakeholders. An independent Coordination Council is established as a base for platform. - Funding for research, development and demonstration shall be done by existing structures. The EI should be given a increased role both as regards the allocation of resources and capabilities to develop the function and regulatory framework in the electricity market, - Svenska Kraftnaet is given the task to develop a comprehensive action plan for how the Swedish electricity grid will be adapted to the objectives for the development of renewable electricity generation and conversion of energy system. An important prerequisite for action is a system for equalizing the costs of connecting wind and other renewable energy sources, - Increased incentives for network companies to invest in smart grid is introduced in regulation; - Hourly metering is introduced for the majority of electricity customers, - EI should be instructed to review electricity companies' tariff structures in order to reduce peak load, - EI should be given the task of designing functional requirements of the customer information in order to increase opportunities to actively respond to market price signals, - EI is given the task of analyzing roles and responsibilities of different players in order to identify and suggest possible measures for to promote the use and development of smart grids, - EI should be instructed to analyze whether the current split in the national, regional and local networks are efficient.

Results should be available well before March 2015 to provide electricity traders to adjust their investment plans; fall 2013 is proposed as the target date}
