We are in the middle of a time when the energy issue is more current than ever. To get to lead the Energy Agency at this time is a great responsibility and an honor, she says about the task.
Caroline Asserup has been the acting director-general since September 1, 2024, and takes over the post after Robert Andrén, whose six-year appointment expired on the last August last year.
We need to build an energy system that is not only sustainable and supply-secure but also resilient in every way, she says and mentions the geopolitical unrest that exists.
According to the newspaper Altinget, it has taken nine months to fill the post. When asked why it has taken so long and if the post is sensitive, Busch replies that it is more important that it becomes right.
The long story short is that it is more important to me that it becomes right than that it goes fast. The agency has not been without leadership, says Ebba Busch (KD).
