In Sweden, political parties want to significantly limit energy cooperation with Denmark as part of a larger dispute with the EU. The opposition even believes that the government's proposal does not go far enough, even though the government proposes not to repair the current connection. This is written by Altinget.dk.
Swedish Social Democrat and EU MP Sofie Eriksson believes that Sweden should go further and put both new electricity cables and upgrades on hold until the problems with bottleneck revenues are resolved.
- We believe that all new export cables and upgrades of existing renewals should be stopped until we have got this with the bottleneck revenues under control, she says to the medium.
The conflict stems from a new proposal from the EU Commission to gain greater influence on the expansion of the European electricity grid.
In Sweden, the plan is facing resistance because several politicians see it as an encroachment on the country's control over the economic gains from Sweden's extensive electricity production. Instead, they want to be able to decide for themselves about the so-called bottleneck revenues and how the money should be spent.
