Busch (KD) wants, among other things, to see new nuclear power funded by the tens of billions of kronor Sweden has accumulated in bottleneck fees - which the commissioner says the fees are not intended for.

Busch pointed out on SVT's Agenda that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that Sweden is a role model in energy policy.

According to her, Jørgensen is at odds with both the commission and reality.

I find it absolutely hair-raising that he says we make a lot of money selling electricity.

Instead, Sweden is being punished by the EU despite the country being seen as a role model, Busch believes.

She announced on Friday that the expansion of an electricity cable to Denmark has been paused following the conflict in the EU.
