The record expensive electricity causes the Swedes to pull the plug. Eight out of ten who pay for heating on their electricity bill are prepared to lower their indoor temperature by one degree this fall and winter. This is according to a survey that the electricity company God el commissioned Kantar Sifo to do.
One who welcomes that so many are prepared to save electricity is Energy Minister Ebba Busch (KD).
– Everyone in Sweden needs to help each other to keep electricity consumption down, because it also keeps the price down. We may need to put on woolen undergarments and also talk to the family about why they hold back a little, says the KD leader.
