"We will discuss how we can best work together to reduce electricity and fuel prices while standing firm on the EU's clear climate ambitions for our growth, and creating more jobs in Europe," writes Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) ahead of tonight's digital meeting.

The meeting is being hosted by Germany, Italy and Belgium, according to Politico, and a double-digit number of EU leaders are expected to attend. It is due to last about an hour.

"For the government, it is important that Swedish families' energy prices are kept low, despite the situation surrounding Iran," the Prime Minister said.

The meeting will also prepare for next week's EU summit in Brussels.
