As a public authority, SLU has been tasked by the Government to take any possible and suitable measures to reduce energy use. Gas and electricity prices are at record highs, which is placing a heavy strain on society. Everybody must contribute to reducing energy use.
Each month, the amount of electricity purchased must be reported to the Swedish Energy Agency until the end of March 2023. Measures being taken to reduce energy use must be reported continually. You can follow SLU’s reporting further down the page.
A group comprising the environmental manager (chair), head of real estate management, a project manager and the head of NJ Faculty Office have been tasked with leading and coordinating the work to reduce energy use at SLU, beyond the existing environmental objectives.
We are in dialogue with Akademiska Hus and those in our organisation who are in the best position to take action have been encouraged to take steps to reduce energy use. Conditions differ depending on the tasks at the organisation, the location and building. All steps taken, no matter how great or small, are to be reported continually to energibesparing@slu.se.

SLU only buys green electricity, and in 2016, the university introduced its first energy-related environmental objectives. These objectives were toughened in 2021, and include:
SLU had already implemented a series of electricity saving measures prior to the current government assignment, and additional measures have recently been taken:
Little things make a difference, and everyone at SLU can do their bit. Every kWh counts. Remember to:
More tips are available on the Swedish Energy Agency's website.
