"The electrical industry in Sweden is facing a significant challenge: an acute shortage of qualified electricians. However, this shortage opens doors for those considering a career in electrical installation."

Increased demand for electricians

Sweden's ongoing electrification and transition to sustainable energy sources has led to an increased demand for skilled electricians. According to the Swedish Electricians' Association's report "Electricians 2030", electricity consumption is expected to increase by more than 20 TWh by 2030, requiring a major expansion of the electricity grid and thus more professionals in the field.

Challenges in recruitment

Despite the increased demand, many companies report difficulties in recruiting staff with the right skills. According to a survey by the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise, 90% of employers in the Installer sector report that it is difficult to find new employees, particularly due to a lack of people with the right professional experience.

Opportunities for new electricians

This skills shortage means great opportunities for those who want to train as an electrician. With the right training and authorization, such as Auktorisation AL for low voltage, you will be a sought-after resource in the labor market.

Future prospects

Despite a temporary increase in unemployment in the profession in 2024, with the unemployment rate standing at 2.2% in August, the demand for electricians is expected to increase in the long term. This is due to the continued electrification of society and the need to replace an ageing workforce.
