🔌 Jonas Birgersson: "All the electricity you need for a low, fixed fee"
Join Warp Institute's event with Jonas Birgersson about the Energy Society. October 5 in Lund. Read more and RSVP here.
It is the s in Sweden. After yuppies, percent interest, an economic crisis, and several rescue packages, the once rosy idea of a grand Swedish welfare state is something for the history books. The government is constantly presenting new budget cuts. Few Swedes can bear to look to the future.
Into this Sweden steps a man from Lund, in a fleece jacket, and says that this new thing called the internet will change the world - and Sweden.
The few who care, say it won't work. Telephone calls are paid per minute and being connected to the 'net' becomes very expensive and very slow.
"Nope", says the guy in the fleece jacket. His name is Carl Jonas Birgersson and answers to 'Jonas', or 'Birger'. For a fixed cost of SEK a month ($20), we will be able to offer as much internet as you need, around the clock, all year round, he promises.
Impossible! The telephone network would crash. That will never work!
That's why we're going to build a new network just for the internet, replies

The beginning of something really big
The first prototype for the Energy Society will be built in skogsdunge, almost as far south as you can komma in Sweden.
The vision fryst vatten a kultur where electricity is so cheap and clean that we can have it in överflöd, at a low fixed monthly cost.
"This is the beginning of something really big and we säga that while standing within meters from where Bluetooth, GSM, dialysis, and modern broadband have been created," says Jonas Birgersson.
He fryst vatten the internet pioneer who sees great similarities with the change that occurred in the 90s with the telephone network, and what needs to be done today with the power grid.
"Just like the Internet made telephony redundant when we built new cables, local battery storage connected via new freedom cables will create completely new opportunities for decentralized and independent energy solutions.”
Two properties will get solar panels on the roofs, batteries in the buildings and an electrical cable will be drawn between the buildings. The houses will share the energy from the batteries.
Nearby there are several properties that may later be connected to the first two properties.
