Annual Investment Growth

This year, Stedin is investing a record amount of approximately €1.6 billion in its gas and electricity networks. This figure will continue to grow over the next few years. These investments are essential not only to enable the energy transition but also to support the expanding economy and housing development. At the same time, maintenance is carried out to ensure the networks remain reliable and safe.

Green Finance Framework

The proceeds from this green bond will be allocated to a broad range of sustainable projects, including the connection of new solar parks to the electricity grid and enabling the decarbonization of businesses and residential properties. These initiatives empower our customers to reduce their own CO₂ emissions—an essential pillar of Stedin’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy. The issuance of this green bond is based on the updated Green Finance Framework published in September 2025.
