Our long-term objective
Ensuring that the transition to renewable energy is realised in a controlled manner so that the energy system of the future remains affordable, reliable and accessible to everyone on equal terms. We work hard to live up to our pledge to connect all customers within the statutory 18-week term. We are aiming to make heating transition arrangements with all municipalities and housing associations in our service areas by 2022.
