Expert authority warned that electricity subsidies could go to companies
The electricity subsidy, of over SEK 17 billion, which was supposed to go to consumers, also ended up with a lot of companies and farmers.
This is in cases where individual companies have shared electricity contracts between households and businesses.
The government’s own expert authority, the Accounting Board, warned in December that the electricity subsidy for households could end up with entrepreneurs, reports Ekot.
The accounting board then raised it once more in a referral to the government.
– It is unfortunate that there is uncertainty about this. I don’t have insight into the process at the government office, but I can state that we highlighted this issue, says Stefan Pärlhem, head of office at the Accounting Board to Ekot.

Small plastic robots that pollinate our trees and plants? Researchers at the University of Tampere in Finland hope that will become reality, Vetenskapsradion reports.
Right now, a project is underway where small plastic flies with bristles like wings unfold when you shine a laser on them, which allows you to partially control how the robots travel in the wind.

13-year-old killed teacher in Brazil
A teacher in his 70s was killed and three other teachers and two students were injured in a knife attack at a school in São Paulo, Brazil, on Monday.

This is reported by TT.
