Lessebo Paper halts production as high electricity prices drive up costs

Lessebo Paper has been forced to halt production due to high electricity prices. “On Monday, our electricity bill was 390,000 kronor for one day,” the company’s CEO, Jens Olson, tells SVT Nyheter Småland.

Jens Olson is critical of the differences in electricity prices between the north and south of the country. He believes they create unfair conditions for industry.

The government and politicians must act now, he says.

How long production will remain at a standstill depends on how electricity prices develop.
