The government's promise that electricity subsidies would be paid before November 1 led to intensive work for the authorities' officials. But officials also had to contend with problems created by the government's energy populism.
Reportedly, the Department of Climate and Food has been involved in some of the problems with energy populism, and there has been a lack of information and governance from the political leadership.
In addition, it has led to losses of 1,6 billion that Försäkringskassan, which has never managed electricity subsidy payments, should manage the support. It has made the costs of this energy populism shine.
Finally, rampant electricity prices in Sweden have led to electricity producers who are not dependent on fossil fuels making enormous surplus profits, while electricity customers have not received a share of the surplus. The energy ministers of the EU countries have decided in directives that the surplus profits in the EU should not go to the electricity companies but back to the electricity customers. Directives from the EU immediately become Swedish law. Sweden's right-wing government has delayed introducing this directive, which has caused Sweden's consumers to lose billions in refunds. Sweden may also be sued by the EU for delaying the directive.
In addition, the government, in its energy populism, went against the Swedish authorities' facts about the electricity supply. The right-wing government falsely claimed that we faced an imminent risk of power outages during the winter. In fact, the risk was no greater than normal that a few households would be without power for a few hours every now and then.
