The analysis has been based on electricity market prices for a typical household in electricity area 3, which includes the Stockholm area.
Here, villa owners are expected to receive electricity bills of around SEK 85,000 in the coming winter half year (October 2022 – March 2023).
Last winter, that sum was SEK 31,000.
- During the coming winter months, a price shock awaits.
Villa owners must be prepared to pay almost three times more than last year, says Andreas Hatzigeorgiou, CEO of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce.
"Risks of becoming a vicious circle"
The increase in the price of electricity can also have a ripple effect on water with changed consumption behaviours, which can affect economic development in the entire region, believes Andreas Hatzigeorgiou.
Hear the villa owner Simon Johansson from Älvsjö tell why the home office in the villa must be dismantled this winter.
