Tell us about yourself and your role as Head of Energy Management here at Svea Solar

I have a background in management consulting and a start-up and have been working in the energy sector since 2016.

As Head of Energy Management, I am responsible for building a product that helps our customers optimize their energy usage in order to minimize their electricity bills or maximize their self-consumption. I am also responsible for developing grid services. This means creating the possibility for our customers to contribute with services to the grid e.g. by turning off their EV charging at an hour when the grid is constrained. 

What does your team do at Svea Solar and what are some of the things you're working on now?

My team makes sure that Svea Solar offers our customers outstanding batteries and EV chargers that are well fit to create a solar ecosystem for our customers.

Right now we are working on integrating the batteries and EV chargers into our app so that they can be used to lower our customers’ electricity bills and maximize their self-consumption.

What's the biggest challenge for your team?

The biggest challenge I would say is to prioritize. There are so many opportunities arising in the space of energy optimization and grid services - so which ones will actually generate the most value for our customers both in the short- and long run?

What are your favorite aspects of working at Svea Solar?

The people - the power shifters. I love the energy that you get from walking into the office, people always great you with a big smile. It’s really nice to work in an environment where people are working hard, with their eyes on the prize, but always remembering that we are in it together and that we do it with good vibes.

Another favorite aspect of working at Svea Solar is that I, every day, get to work with ridding the planet of fossil fuels - how cool is that?

Tell us something we don't know about you/what else do you like to do when you're not saving the planet?

I am a sun lover. I love spending time in the sun - lazy summer days at the beach, crisp winter days on the slope, mushroom picking during sunny autumn days AND I love the fact that the sun provides us with energy.
