The Labor Party’s program committee says no to renewing the two power cables to Denmark, which will become obsolete in 2026. They want to reduce the number of power cables to foreign countries. That’s what Are Tomasgard in the Labor Party’s program committee and Labor parliamentary representative Ingvild Kjerkol say on Wednesday afternoon. – We are now again experiencing that we have full magazines and yet we are getting absurd electricity prices back from the system. The system is out of control, says Tomasgård to the press. – And we will take back this control. Then we have to take action. The Norwegian electricity subsidy will continue on Friday. Kjerkol says that this is only a temporary solution. – We must have lasting solutions so that households and businesses do not experience high electricity prices to the extent we are now seeing. Kjerkol says that in southern Norway more power is produced than they themselves need, and that this should benefit Norwegian households and businesses. – We believe that in the longer term we must not renew the cables to Denmark. We must have an exchange to secure our own power needs, not import high prices.
