In August, the government's investigator proposed that new nuclear power could be financed with government loans and that the state would provide price guarantees to nuclear power companies for 40 years.
The proposal is being criticized by expert authorities and researchers at technical universities, who are calling for an investigation that examines the socio-economic consequences of investing so heavily in nuclear power over other forms of power.
It's both, I would say, misleading and an opinion, says Busch to SVT about the criticism.
We know the price of discontinued base power. That price is being paid by the Swedish people and companies now. We have a rather unhealthy situation where companies cannot connect to the power grid. There is a surplus of electricity, but not guaranteed evenly throughout the year.
Experts Agenda has spoken to point out the risk that nuclear power will become more expensive than the government thinks and that it risks pushing aside other forms of power.
