The Energy Markets Inspectorate has conducted an inquiry on smart grids during 2010 and submitted the resulting report to the Swedish government. The inquiry has identified a number of barriers against the introduction of new technology and a number of proposals are made to remove the barriers: an independent council to gather and spread knowledge on smart grids; incentives for network operators to create new services and increase network performance; an action plan for the future development of the electricity network; a new structure of network tariffs to reduce peak loads and price peaks; and functionality requirements on information to customers to allow them to actively participate in the market.
