Energy for the future
Our goal is to be completely self-sufficient in energy by 2030. For this to become a reality, we need to take a closer look at what type of electricity we use and also how we use it. We have several exciting projects underway in this area.
We buy 100% renewable electricity
Already today, we only buy electricity from renewable energy sources and our ski resorts are powered by electricity from solar, wind and hydropower. 100% of the electricity we buy is therefore renewable.
We also analyse the energy consumption of our properties, lifts and snow production to learn how we can work smarter and have as low an energy consumption as possible.
Since 2022, we produce electricity with solar panels
Our goal is to increase the proportion of self-generated electricity. We took the first step to producing our own electricity when we put solar cells on the roof of SkiStarshop Concept Store Lindvallen in 2022.
The next step was taken last financial year when we installed solar panels on several of our properties in Sälen: on the roof of the piste machine garage, above the McDonald's and at Wasastugan. Most recently, we also installed solar cells on top of Experium in Sälen.
During the year 2023/24, these solar cells produced 220 MwH, of which we sold 25 MwH and used the rest for our own operations. In addition, we are actively working on energy efficiency in all business areas.
You'll find smart tips on how to join us in our efforts and save electricity here.
We ensure snow production with a water pond
During the winter of 2022/23, we invested heavily in improving snow production by building a new water reservoir in Sälen and acquiring more efficient snow sensors with GPS.
The water reservoir is located at Väggen valley in Hundfjället and gives our snow cannons more water access. This also reduces the impact on other streams that supply us with water.
