Power producers as well as the business community in general have long tried to persuade politicians to agree on energy policy across party lines, primarily nuclear power, but also the terms for offshore wind power where the greatest potential exists.
It is certainly good that politicians seem to have come closer to each other on the issue. But it is not enough, according to the Energy Companies.
”For us, today's message only strengthens the conviction that energy policy needs to be addressed in a parliamentary committee, where the parties get a comprehensive picture of the needs and can present conditions for Swedish energy policy that extends over several electoral periods. Our members' investments do not extend over quarters, but decades”, says Åsa Pettersson in a written comment.
