Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETPartnership)

CETPartnership Clean Energy Transition Call (Swedish Energy Agency)

Funds companies, universities, and public bodies operating in Sweden running cross-border clean-energy research and innovation projects through the Swedish Energy Agency's CETPartnership grants.

Eligibility · Sweden (within an international consortium spanning at least three countries)

The CETPartnership Clean Energy Transition Call is a research-and-innovation grant administered by the Swedish Energy Agency (Swedish: Energimyndigheten) as the Swedish national contribution to the Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETPartnership), a European partnership programme that co-funds energy research across member countries. The grant funds collaborative projects in clean-energy fields such as hydrogen and renewable fuels, stationary batteries, heating and cooling, and integrated energy systems. It is the Swedish funding channel for partners taking part in CETPartnership's joint annual call.

The Swedish Energy Agency has set aside 100 million SEK (100 miljoner kronor) for this call to fund applicants operating in Sweden. The agency states there is no predefined maximum budget per project; funding decisions weigh each project's relevance, cost-effectiveness, and the available national budget. As a historical reference point, most applications the agency has granted have fallen between 3 and 9 million SEK in support per application, but this is described as a past pattern rather than a formal floor or ceiling. The grant funds the Swedish partners within an international project consortium.

Applicants must be legal entities operating in Sweden. Companies of any size (large, medium, and small), universities, colleges and research institutes, public actors (municipalities, regions, and government agencies), and non-profit and civil-society organisations may all apply. Every project must be a cross-border collaboration with partners active in at least two other countries, and any application that includes Swedish actors must include at least one Swedish non-research organisation (for example a company, public actor, or NGO) with operations in Sweden.

The call runs in two stages. The deadline for the first stage (the international pre-proposal) is 8 October 2026 at 14:00 CEST; applicants that pass move to the second stage (the full proposal), with a deadline of 11 March 2027 at 14:00 CEST. International applications are submitted through the CETPartnership portal, and the Swedish national application is submitted through the agency's 'Mina sidor' (My Pages) system; the page does not publish a single direct apply link. Projects must fit one of the eight published call modules.

Practical caveats: the international consortium and the Swedish non-research-partner requirement are hard conditions, so a Swedish research group cannot apply alone. The 3-9 million SEK figure is historical and not a guaranteed range. The 100 million SEK figure is a combined pool for the call, not a per-project amount. The 10 million EUR figure that also appears on the page is a separate earmark statement and is not the same as the published 100 million SEK call pool.
