The way the company squirms to put short-term profit interests before the survival of Ukraine, and by extension the peace and freedom of all of Europe, is distasteful “, she says in a press release, writes TT.

The government has decided on a change in the regulation that regulates the electricity subsidy paid out to households throughout Sweden in May.

The change means that consumers only receive support for electricity consumption that was used in the household, and not for business activities that may have taken place in the same building as the household.

Försäkringskassan also gets powers to investigate whether the electricity has been used in the household or in the business.

– Today’s decision means that a private person who has consumed electricity both in the household and in business activities will be entitled to electricity support for the consumption that refers to household electricity, says Energy and Business Minister Ebba Busch (KD) in a press release.

When the previous electricity subsidy was paid out to households in southern Sweden, there was no such regulation, something that drew criticism as a number of traders with sole proprietorships likely received electricity subsidies.
