Start-up companies that are active within the energy sector are eligible to apply for commercial loans from the Swedish Energy Agency. Even though companies which were received loans are diverse; the common denominator is that their innovations help to reduce energy consumption and/or to find new ways of producing renewable energy. There is no minimum or maximum amount for the loans, but the total annual budget of the Swedish Energy Agency is approx. SEK 90 million.
