In Denmark, people are asked to take it easy with the Christmas lights, in Italy the pasta must be cooked with the lid on, and in Finland it is finished.
In Sweden, directives from a higher place have been conspicuous by their absence, until yesterday, when Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson urged the Swedes to reduce electricity consumption during a press conference, otherwise there is a risk of power outages.
Marcus Oscarsson comments on the government’s announcement in Nyhetsmorgon.
– It is quite serious and the government highlights an urgent situation. Southern Sweden is the worst in Europe if you look at the need for electricity combined with the electricity production in that area, says Oscarsson.
