Electricity network operator and supplier
We are an electricity network operator with more than 120 years of experience. We deliver electricity home to our customers through our own electricity network, located in the city center of Örnsköldsvik, that we continuously maintain to secure a stable stream of electricity all the way home to you. If you are in the process of building a new facility, we are in charge of connecting it to our network. We at Övik Energi can also help you find the best suitable solution for you regarding electricity supply. If you don’t choose an electricity supplier of your own, you will automatically get a designated contract, where the price is more expensive. It should be easy to find the right form of electricity agreement, and here you can choose between both a fixed and a variable electricity price - whatever fits you the best. All the electricity we sell is 100 % renewable.
District heating
Did you know that our district heating is locally produced, with most of the biofuel that is used in the process originating from the woods and forests in and around Örnsköldsvik? District heating requires minimal supervision and is very reliable. You get a safe and easy way of warming up your home and you have an endless supply of warm water to your shower. It’s affordable, and it basically runs itself - it just works!
Fiber network
Today, we all have high expectations on our internet connection - We want it to be both fast and stable! With a fiber connection from Övik Energi, the capacity is close to endless, and it’s always ready to adapt to your needs. That means that you can game, browse the internet or stream your favorite shows without any limitation. And you have also made a great investment ready for the future! We believe that you should be able to make your own choice. Therefore, you have the possibility to choose your own internet service provider in our optical fiber network.
