The delay of the second electricity price support will hit many homeowners who are already struggling. That is what the organization Villaägarna believes. – It was a surprise and a very boring one, says Jonathan Lindgren, social policy spokesperson for the Villaägarna. Earlier, Energy Minister Ebba Busch (KD) and other government representatives said that the second round of electricity subsidies to households should be paid out by Försäkringskassan sometime in the spring. But on a visit to the Forsmark nuclear power plant today, Busch said that the electricity support will be delayed. – We are talking months, not six months, I dare say that much. “Economic hardships” The villa owners, who represent approximately 233,000 households, believe that the news comes as a cold shower for the members. – There are many households that are in a very vulnerable position and this money would be needed to make it through this month. We have high food prices and high interest rates and of course also electricity prices, says Jonathan Lindgren. Although the winter’s sky-high electricity prices have moderated in the spring, there are many who are still lagging behind financially. – Many have financial difficulties as a result of the difficult winter, says Jonathan Lindgren.
