Svenska Kraftnät's Director General Per Eckemark was fired last week without giving employees an explanation. The announcement came via a video message from Energy and Enterprise Minister Ebba Busch (KD).

Now she answers why Eckemark had to leave.

It is clear that one of the most crucial tasks that Svenska Kraftnät has is to ensure that Sweden has a strategic power reserve, but they failed to do that.

She is referring to a procurement of a power reserve that would be ready during the coldest days when electricity consumption is highest.

The purpose of a strategic reserve is to step in and deliver electricity when a power shortage threatens. A new procurement has been launched and according to Busch, a power reserve will be in place in January.

There we have given appropriate criticism to the authority, says Busch.
