Battery fees from 2026

From 2026 there will be a new price list. For electrical equipment, the annual fee for the Authorised Representative service is changing. The new fee is SEK 7,500. As before, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s supervision fee is included in the fee. There are no changes to environmental fees for electrical equipment. However, the fees for batteries will change according to the table below. In addition to fee changes, battery categories and divisions of batteries will be added. In connection with the new requirements in the Battery Ordinance and the fact that El-Kretsen, through its wholly owned subsidiary Batterikretsen, has applied to become an approved producer responsibility organization (PRO), financial security is required. Both the environmental fee, SEK/kg, and the fixed annual fee will be increased to meet these requirements.

If you want to know more about our services for each battery category, information is available under Our services.

Industrial and electric vehicle batteries sometimes have heavy steel casings, are built into containers and may contain counterweights. The extra weight for these will not be charged by the environmental fee. Batteries that contain extra weight therefore need to be declared on two lines, one with the total weight, one with the battery weight only. The total weight is needed to be able to report the correct statistics to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
