Vattenfall Eldistribution AB
Vattenfall Eldistribution AB is a Swedish aktiebolag (private limited company), organisation number 556417-0800, registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket) on 17 January 1991. The company is registered in Solna, Sweden, with a postal address in Stockholm.
Vattenfall Eldistribution AB operates as an electricity distribution system operator, building, maintaining and operating a regulated electricity grid that delivers power to businesses and households across large parts of Sweden. Group-level disclosures published by the Vattenfall group describe the network as reaching more than 900,000 connected customers. Network operations are conducted under a licence granted under the Swedish Electricity Act (Ellagen), and as a regulated grid business the company is required to remain legally and functionally separated from competitive electricity generation, trading and sales activities, consistent with EU electricity market unbundling requirements.
Principal activities include planning, building and operating regional and local electricity distribution networks, connecting customers to the grid, metering electricity consumption, and carrying out related network-support activities permitted under its distribution licence.
Vattenfall Eldistribution AB trades under the Vattenfall brand and maintains its own operating website, distinct from the retail and generation operations carried out elsewhere in the Vattenfall group.
Sources reviewed for this description include Swedish company-registry aggregators (Allabolag, Merinfo) that compile filings from Bolagsverket, together with Vattenfall group disclosures published on group.vattenfall.com. Reported employee numbers vary between sources, ranging from approximately 1,500 to 1,650, without a consistently stated reporting year, so no single employee figure is presented as authoritative. No consolidated group revenue figure is attributed to this specific legal entity in the sources reviewed.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Vattenfall Eldistribution AB
Sweden does not maintain a fully public, itemised shareholder register for private limited companies (aktiebolag) equivalent to a UK-style register of members. Company-registry aggregators that compile Bolagsverket filings and group ownership data (Allabolag, Merinfo) consistently identify Vattenfall AB (organisation number 556036-2138) as the parent company of Vattenfall Eldistribution AB. No source reviewed disclosed a specific shareholding percentage for this relationship, so it is reported here as a consistently confirmed parent company link rather than as a disclosed ownership percentage.
No other shareholders were identified in the sources reviewed.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for this entity is best described as major shareholders only: the identity of the parent company is consistently confirmed by multiple registry sources, but a filed ownership percentage specific to this subsidiary was not located. Sweden does not require public disclosure of a full aktiebok (share register) for private companies, which limits independent verification beyond the confirmed parent relationship.

Directors and officers of Vattenfall Eldistribution AB
External registry sources reviewed in September 2026 identify Annika Maria Viklund as the CEO (VD) of Vattenfall Eldistribution AB, a role also confirmed by an official Vattenfall announcement distributed via Cision. The same registry sources identify Johan Axel Gyllenhoff as chairman of the board, with Anna Kristina Emanuelsson, Sofia Kristina Mankert and Alexandra Ingrid Marschall Safbeck named as additional current board members. Exact appointment dates were not consistently available across the sources reviewed.
This external picture differs from the officer records held in the underlying Zavia.ai company data, which list five individuals (Lars Gosta Carlberg, Helene Margaretha Elisabeth Bistrom, Erik Gunnar Lundberg, Bo Goran Lofgren and Carl Ingvar Spanne) all recorded with a resigned status and no appointment or resignation dates. Those records appear to reflect an earlier, now superseded board composition rather than the current board.
Data availability
Officer information for this entity is best described as partial: current role holders are confirmed through commercial registry aggregators that compile Bolagsverket filings, and the CEO role is additionally supported by an official Vattenfall announcement, but full appointment and resignation dates and formal Bolagsverket filing dates were not independently retrieved. Nationality is not disclosed in any source reviewed and is reported here as not disclosed.
