District heating prices have skyrocketed in recent years. Now new rules are coming that will hardly slow down the cost increases. They do not propose anything drastic that will strengthen the customers' position, says Rikard Silverfur at Fastighetsägarna.
BusinessHousing costs such as heating, waste, water and sewage, and electricity charges continued to soar this year. Overall, they became ten percent more expensive compared to 2024. This is the fourth year in a row with double-digit increases for charges that residents cannot influence.
BusinessWater and sewage fees are skyrocketing for the country's property owners and housing associations, shows a new study. It is far above inflation, it will be a heavy bill for households and property owners, says Rikard Silverfur, chairman of the Nils Holgersson group.
BusinessFor the second year in a row, the district heating prices are soaring. The average price rose nine percent between 2024 and 2025, and the year before it was even worse. There is no way to protect customers from such aggressive increases, says Rikard Silverfur, chairman of the Nils Holgersson group.
BusinessAgain, the electricity network fees are skyrocketing. This year, the increase will be record-high, according to a new report from the Nils Holgersson group. An increasingly smaller part deals with consumption, it's these fixed fees that take an increasingly larger part of your electricity bill, says Rikard Silverfur at Fastighetsägarna.
