But people who are 80 years old and older, as well as people who live in special housing for the elderly, are now recommended two top-up doses per year, one in the spring and one in the winter.

Svenska kraftnät’s new proposal on electricity support for companies
Photo: Stina Stjernkvist/TT
Now Svenska kraftnät has presented its new proposal on what the electricity support for companies should look like.
The authority bases the proposal largely on the same model that was previously presented to households.
The size of the electricity subsidy is determined retroactively based on how large the consumption was during the period October 2021 to September 2022 in electricity areas 3 and 4, i.e. southern Sweden.
Those with electricity outlets in electricity area 4 receive SEK 0.79 per kWh consumed during the period and those in electricity area 3 receive SEK 0.50 per kWh consumed.
No electricity subsidy is paid to businesses and legal entities that have electricity outlets in electricity areas 1 and 2.
Svenska kraftnät also proposes a maximum ceiling of just over SEK 22 million, according to EU regulations.
Now Svenska kraftnät will apply to be allowed to use capacity fees to finance a model for electricity subsidies with the Energy Markets Inspectorate.
– The compensation levels are based on how large the average price has been in the electricity areas in relation to a reference price of 75 öre kWh. As the average price in electricity areas 1 and 2 has been lower than the reference price during the period, no electricity subsidy is given, says Malin Stridh, head of the Electricity Market, Swedish Power Grid.
It is still unclear when the money will be paid out.

How is the Vietnamese boy in the hole doing?
Fredrik Håkansson
Hello Fredrik!
Unfortunately, he still seems to be stuck in the hole and the hope of saving him is slim. We will update here in the notice column if anything new happens.
Here you can read yesterday’s article about ten-year-old Nam.
“one of the released a suspected rapper.”
Is it a crime to be a rapper or do you mean that he is suspected of rapping?
Dr. Alban
Consumption is obviously reduced when people can’t afford it. I haven’t eaten a vegetable, fruit or red meat in 4 months. Stopped going to the dentist and getting a haircut. Becoming noticeable in many industries!
Julia
Hello Julia,
That sounds tough. You are certainly not alone in having a hard time right now.
In the article about covid it says in the fact box:
that covid is still “notifiable, which means that confirmed cases must still be reported by the healthcare system to the regional infectious disease doctor and the Public Health Authority.”
I don’t think people know this, during December at least 25 of my acquaintances have been diagnosed with covid but no one has reported this anywhere. Can you figure out what to do when home covid tests are positive?
Susie
Hi Suzie,
It is the care that must report positive tests for those who are cared for there, as an individual you are not obliged to report your results.
