– Widows, widowers, children and other survivors should be able to feel secure, says Energy Minister Ebba Busch (KD) in a press release.
The previous design of the electricity support meant that survivors risked being left without support, as estates were not covered by the support. The period for which the support applies is October 2021 to September 2022, and if the person who was on the contract then died, no support would be paid.
The government is now pivoting on the issue and has decided to include estates in the support.
