Busch adamant: No electricity subsidy for those with electricity included in their rent

The government insists that residents of condominiums and rental properties with a shared electricity bill will not receive the upcoming electricity subsidy. "It is not feasible," says Minister of Energy and Enterprise Ebba Busch (KD).

By "feasible", she means the time and extensive calculations that would be required to divide the electricity and support for each household in housing associations or apartment buildings where the association or landlord has included electricity in the fee or rent.

When asked whether the housing association or the landlord could be tasked with calculating it themselves, Busch replies:

We have not considered it realistic.

Residents in apartments where electricity is not part of the rent will, according to the government, receive between SEK 100 and just over SEK 200 in support in June.
