Swedish government presents details of electricity rebate proposal
The government today presented more details of its proposed temporary scheme to help the most affected households cope with high electricity bills this winter.
Finance Minister Mikael Damberg said that the support scheme is intended to function as "a staircase" where the level of the compensation will increase depending on the size of a household's electricity bill.
The opposition Moderates are critical, and have proposed to scrap the energy tax temporarily instead.
