Minister for Financial Markets Niklas Wykman (The Moderate Party) is not unexpectedly toning down the criticism of the proposals for financing new nuclear power. The costs for the state and electricity consumers are manageable, he thinks. And the government is in a hurry.
BusinessThe electricity prices have risen sharply in recent days and among the opposition, there is sharp criticism of the government's handling of the electricity system. Minister for Energy and Industry Ebba Busch (Christian Democrats) does not rule out support to households – but not right now.
BusinessThe Social Democrats are directing harsh criticism towards the government's handling of the electricity system and the promised lower electricity prices that have failed to materialize. Now, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) is hitting back. "I understand that no one becomes happy when I say that 'if we hadn't shut down half of the nuclear power, we wouldn't have had these problems'. But it's true and it must be said," he says to Aftonbladet.

However, the electricity price in southern Sweden is simultaneously at the highest level so far this year. But we get lower peaks, says Erik Ek at Svenska kraftnät.
BusinessThe risk of crisis in the power system this winter is lower than in previous winters. But acute problems, for example in nuclear power or in power transmission, can quickly change the situation, according to Svenska kraftnät.
