On 12 January, the government presented the proposal for the so-called electricity price support.
The idea is that households will be compensated for the high electricity prices during December, January and February.
At most, a household can receive SEK 2,000 per month - a total of a maximum of SEK 6,000.
The opposition has condemned the government's proposal.
The moderates advocate a reduced fee on certain electricity bills and the Liberals want to see a reduction in the electricity tax.
The support is intended to function as a staircase where you get more money the more electricity you consume.
The compensation shall be based on the household's monthly electricity consumption.
Households that use more than 2,000 kWh per month will be entitled to the highest support of a maximum of SEK 6,000 in total, according to a press release from the government.
The compensation is estimated to cover around 1.8 million households throughout Sweden.
It is likely that the Swedish electricity network companies will handle the payments.
The industry association Energiföretagen fears that this will entail a large administrative burden.
The electricity network companies have "one billion questions" about how to proceed in a purely practical way.
