Høgre proposes to increase the electricity subsidy from 1 September – Latest news – news

3 August 2022 at 17:59 Høgre proposes to increase the electricity subsidy from 1 September Høgre proposes to increase the electricity subsidy for people to 90 per cent of all costs over 70 øre already from 1 September. Senior leader Erna Solberg is open to urgently convening the Storting during the holidays to make this happen. – The state takes in a lot of money for electricity in the blink of an eye. This is confiscation of money from Norwegian families and companies, says Solberg. She believes there is now a strong need for increased electricity support. – Everyone thought there would be lower prices and less consumption this summer, but prices have become higher. Especially in Southern and Western Norway. That is why we are in favor of 90 per cent already owned from September. Solberg says that if the government needs a decision from the Storting on this, they are ready to hold an extraordinary meeting at the Storting. Høgre is also working on proposals for a number of other measures that can contribute to mitigating the electricity crisis. Among them is an improved proposal for electricity support for small businesses.
