Cost of Energy

The Cost of Energy API gives you programmatic access to the full cost stack for electricity consumers in Sweden: grid fees, energy tax, transfer charges, peak power fees, subscription fees, and everything else a Distribution System Operator (DSO) charges. Instead of implementing hundreds of rate plans one by one, you work with a single set of building blocks that covers every operator and fee type.

​

How it works

Every cost component is described as a machine-readable calculation pipeline — a small, composable graph of operations like multiply, add, constant, aggregate, and select. The same fixed set of operations models everything from a flat monthly subscription fee to a peak-demand tariff with seasonal time-of-use bands. You can evaluate pipelines yourself in any language — or call our Calculate endpoint and get a step-by-step cost breakdown in the response.

​

Why developers choose this

• Implement once, expand across operators. There are only a handful of operations to implement. Adding a new DSO means reading new pipeline definitions, not writing new code.
• Rules change, your code doesn’t. When a DSO updates their rates, the pipeline definition updates — your integration stays the same.
• Full transparency. Every calculation returns the intermediate steps. No black boxes. You can audit, display, or optimize against every line item.
• Calculate or optimise. The same pipeline serves both: with concrete inputs it computes costs deterministically; with decision-variable inputs it produces variables and constraints for an optimisation solver.
