Technology Procurement Programme - Renewables

In addition to a pre-existing 1997 Investment Support Programme (see separate entry), the Swedish government established a five-year technology procurement programme specifically for renewable electricity production in January 1998. Total funds for this programme were SKr 100 million (Eur 11 million) for a five-year period. This procurement programme ended in 2002 and was replaced by the Energy Act, which came into effect in 2003.
