Natural Gas

How to change gas supplier

You can compare prices on Gaspriskollen External link., which is run by the Swedish Consumer Energy Markets Bureau.

If you wish to change natural gas supplier, you contact a new supplier and agree on a contract. The new supplier and your grid operator then manage the entire changeover.

Remember, however, that there are costs associated with terminating one contract during the contractual period in order to change to a new contract.

When you have signed up to a new contract, the new gas supplier notifies the grid operator of the change. This will be done 14 days prior to the date on which the new contract begins.

You cannot change grid operator

In order to have your gas supplied to you, you have to have an agreement with your local gas grid operator. As it is only the supply of gas that is exposed to competition, it is not possible to use another grid operator.

The grid operator owns gas pipelines and gas meters, and ensures that the gas that you purchased is supplied to you. If you do not know which grid operator operates in your area, ask the municipality.

The gas grid operator's pricing is regulated and monitored by the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate. The aim is that you, the customer, shall pay a reasonable price for the grid operator's services.
