Chance for electricity price support in Norrland as well - but the northerners are skeptical

- Northern Sweden has been forgotten.

The distribution must be evened out, says Johan Åström, Luleå.

The money to be paid out to southern Sweden in February is retroactive support calculated from October 2021 to September 2022.

May become relevant with support in Norrland

However, Ulf Kristersson does not rule out that any future support may also include the northern parts of the country in 2023.

- Yes, we follow electricity price trends very carefully.

Generally speaking, it has been lower in Norrland, but even the Norlanders have had to experience higher prices than has been normal, says the prime minister in the interview P1 Morgon on Monday.

Depends on the electricity price trend

Whether there will be electricity price support in Norrland, however, depends on the electricity price trend, according to Ulf Kristersson.

- We do not at all rule out that support can also be directed to Norrland if prices remain very high, but it is clear that the goal is for us to get away from these high prices.

But you promise the same thing as the Sweden Democrats' economic policy spokesperson Oscar Sjöstedt promised?

- We are looking at the matter, absolutely, but I do not intend to make such promises before we know whether it is possible or not, says the Prime Minister in the interview with P1 Morgon.
