# Ikea will also sell renewable energy in Sweden

Users will be able to sell surplus energy

Swedish furniture giant Ikea is becoming a supplier of renewable energy. The subscription service will be called Strömma. It will supply Swedish households with energy generated by wind and solar power from September onwards.

The program, launched in partnership with Svea Solar, envisages the purchase of electricity at Europe’s largest electricity exchange Nord Pool, with electricity being resold at no additional charge, which will reduce the cost to the end-user.

Subscribers of Strömm's service will also pay a fixed monthly fee as well as a variable one, but their amount is not known yet.

However, users will also have access to an application through which they will monitor electricity consumption. Those who will also have Ikea solar panels will be able to sell excess energy.

Svea Solar also cooperates with Ikea's Ingka.

The Swedish furniture company said that with the new Strömma scheme, they want to become "the world's largest renewable energy movement", as they want to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10 billion tons, which is generated each year by lighting, heating and cooling buildings.

"We believe that renewable energy is the future, so we want to make energy from sustainable sources more affordable and affordable for everyone," explained Jan Gardberg, Business Manager of Ikea’s sister company Ingka Group.

Ikea has set itself the goal of being carbon neutral by 2050, which is also in line with the Paris climate agreement.
