Take action in the EU to lower Swedish electricity prices

"It could have great significance for Swedish families," says the party's economic policy spokesperson, Mikael Damberg, at a press conference.

During the last energy crisis in 2022, the EU introduced a price cap on gas, and he believes it may need to be done again.

There will also be a ceiling on Swedish electricity prices, since there is a connection between them.

We believe that the government must hold an extraordinary council meeting in Brussels. It is unreasonable for German gas prices to completely dictate Swedish electricity prices.

However, a price cap on European gas does not mean that Swedish electricity prices are actually "uncoupled", but rather that a ceiling is set for how high the price of gas can go.

In 2022, it was estimated that the cap could reduce prices for residents in electricity area 4 (in southern Sweden) by 40 percent, according to S.
