The high electricity prices have recently put the focus on energy issues. At the same time, most forecasts point to a greatly increased need for electricity in the future, where access to fossil-free electricity will be decisive for our chances of reaching the climate goals and transitioning to a fossil-free society. Will there be a new energy agreement next term? What does the potential of hydrogen look like? How should the permit processes be simplified? These are some of the questions we asked the energy policy spokespersons for all parties in the Riksdag. The interviews were conducted before the parliamentary parties had presented
their respective proposals for relief for electricity consumers.
