Ellevio Now and Then
The Ellevio brand was born in 2015, but our company has been around for much longer than that. The story begins as early as the 1600s, when hydropower began to be used in Swedish industrial towns. Today, we are one of Sweden's largest energy companies, with close to one million customers. Together, we take an active role in creating an electrified, sustainable society.
Ellevio Today

Electricity has simplified and improved our lives for more than 100 years, and Ellevio has been part of electrifying Sweden from the start. Today we stand before one of the largest transformations of society ever. Industry and transportation transform from fossil fuels to electricity, and digitalization continues. The electricity usage is expected to double by 2045. As one of Sweden’s largest electricity infrastructure owners our responsibility is to enable and drive the continued electrification of Sweden. And thereby reach our vision of a bright and sustainable future.

Ellevio's History
For us, it is important to keep our origins in mind
Ellevio's family tree stretches back all the way to the 1600s. This is when hydropower was first utilised to make work more efficient in so-called mill towns and factory towns. Uddeholms Bruk, Billeruds Bruk and Kraftaktiebolaget Gullspång-Munkfors are all part of our history in one way or another. We also have a valuable presence in Sweden's capital owing to Stockholm Energi, which started electrifying Stockholm at the end of the 19th century. And, even today, our history is markedly apparent; we have our head office in Stockholm, a bustling office in Karlstad, and employees in dozens of other towns and cities.
