We operate around 60,000 charging points throughout Europe and offer e-mobility charging solutions for people’s homes and businesses, as well as public charging in towns and cities across our Swedish, Dutch, and German markets.  
 
We operate advanced smart charging solutions that support stable grids and the energy transformation. We also offer a broad range of decentralised decarbonisation solutions such as heat pumps and solar panels. 

Strategy and targets

We aspire to be the decarbonisation partner of choice and support our customers in the transition to fossil-free energy. In addition to providing customers fossil-free electricity options across markets, we are actively investing in our heating decarbonisation offerings, including fossil-free gas and heat pumps for B2C customers, and developing solutions for and with our B2B customers. 
 
We aim to become the preferred district heating partner to cities and stakeholders, providing efficient, low CO₂-emitting solutions to the energy transformation. We want to grow both in heating on-grid and off-grid and as a provider of flexibility and stability to the power grids. 
 
We invest in becoming a leading operator of e-mobility charging points in north-western Europe. We provide flexibility services that help customers optimise their energy consumption and balance the energy grid. 
 
We offer a wide range of smart, data-driven, and decentralised sustainable energy solutions and services to private and business customers and continue our efforts within the electrification of transport and industry as well as decarbonisation in our continental markets.
