An agreement with the government gives the power company Eon an additional eight billion crowns to solve the power shortage in Skåne.

But now the Svenska kraftnät authority solves the electricity problem to the tune of 20 million Swedish crowns until 2024, writes Dagens Nyheter.

Energy Minister Anders Ygeman (S) approved in an agreement that electricity grid companies include so-called uncollected revenue totaling SEK 28 billion over the next twelve years in exchange for investing in power grids .

For Eon, it is about 8 billion kronor or more from electricity customers in profit between 2020 and 2027 in Skåne.

Solve problems in Skåne

Ygeman does not believe that the capacity issues at Skåne would have been resolved without this agreement.

According to DN, it now appears that Eon threatened not to expand the effect on Skåne with Svenska kraftnät if they did not meet their demands for a billion additional revenue.

– There are a number of things that the owner of the network, Eon, pays for in the Svenska kraftnät package. They would not have done it without our joint initiative, says Anders Ygeman, claiming that it is unreasonable for a power grid company with a 51 percent profit margin to act this way.

Johan Mörnstam, head of operations for Eon’s network in Europe, does not want to answer what Ygeman says and calls it a hypothetical question.
