1. 1. Energy efficiency and fiscal incentives : A stochastic frontier analysis of Swedish manufacturing sectors 2008-2020

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

   Author : William Blombäck; [2024]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis is a case study of the Swedish manufacturing industry in which I measure how efficiently each sector uses energy (fuel and electricity) as input goods in their production processes, and how significant the impact of Sweden’s energy tax is in regard to energy efficiency. The purpose of this is to analyze energy security and preparedness for short-term demand shocks for electricity, as many ‘mega-investments’ of industrial nature are being planned in Sweden – which are predicted to require the installed capacity of Sweden’s electricity production to almost double by 2045.

   Keywords : vital societal function; VSF; critical entity; CE; vital societal entity; VSE; critical infrastructure; CI; critical flow; prolonged outage; electricity supply disruption; preparedness; total defence; civil defence; civil preparedness; crisis preparedness; grey zone; critical entities resilience; CER; hybrid warfare; energy security; societal resilience; cascading effect; dependencies; interdependencies; long-term disruption; power outage; power disruption; consequences; outage; samhällsviktig verksamhet; kritisk infrastruktur; totalförsvar; beredskap; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study investigates Swedish critical entities (CEs) ability to maintain function during up to three months of electricity supply disruptions. It also examines possible improvement measures, and how contextual cases (grey zone, heightened state of alert, war) influence CEs’ ability to maintain function during electricity supply disruptions.

   Abstract : In an increasingly interconnected, and electricity-reliant world, households are asked to build up their resilience to crises. Local, distributed electricity production within a microgrid with capability to operate disconnected from the larger grid has been shown to be an effective tool for increasing power system resilience in the past.
