After intense negotiations, the Danish government has got through a political package aimed at promoting the green transition. With a so-called "green tripartite", the country will introduce a carbon dioxide tax on agriculture by 2030.
WorldThe Defence Forces commend the government for the decision to say no to 13 wind farms in the Baltic Sea. A responsible message, according to Brigadier General Stig-Olof Krohné. I can remain somewhat unimpressed by the criticism from wind energy and all other stakeholders in this matter, he says.
Swedish politicsThe Government has said no to wind power investments in the Baltic Sea, citing that it hinders the Defence Forces' ability to detect potential threats. According to the defence company Saab, the company has technical solutions that can counteract potential risks.
BusinessTwo heavy energy authorities believe that it will become much more difficult to achieve the green energy transition after the government has in principle stopped all wind farms in the Baltic Sea. Now we will need to accelerate land-based wind power very much, says Daniel Gustafsson at Svenska kraftnät.
BusinessThe Government says yes to a new sea-based wind farm on the west coast. Locally, The Moderate Party has warned that such "monstrosities" will lead to a "Liseberg at sea". We get long-awaited production for western Sweden, says Climate Minister Romina Pourmokhtari (L).
Swedish politicsA deathblow. Four lost years. The opposition is harsh in its criticism of the government's rejection of 13 offshore wind farms. How will Sweden manage the green transition, wonders the wind power industry?
Swedish politicsThe government says no to 13 offshore wind farms in a large part of southern and central Baltic Sea. The reason is that the Defence Forces see great risks in the work of defending Sweden if the turbines are built.
