Green Party wants to add 3 billion to Industriklivet to speed green transition

To accelerate the green transition, the Green Party is promising three billion on top of the state-run Industrial Step. The money is promised in a “green industry package” from the party.

A green industrial package for jobs, competitiveness and innovation, says spokesman Daniel Helldén at a press conference in the Riksdag.

The transition will require major investments over a long period of time, he adds.

Industriklivet is an existing government program to support climate change.

MP also wants to see more green credit guarantees and tax credits to promote the green transition - following a Finnish model. They also want to create a new risk-sharing mechanism, where the state provides money for 5-10 years to subsidise electricity contracts for companies that switch.

We also want to invest more money in the licensing authorities, says spokesperson Amanda Lind.
