Economy. A good deal that is “extremely important” for jobs, consider the IF Metall Chairman Anders Ferbe who think one should keep the door open for new nuclear power plants. An important prerequisite for the continued operation of nuclear power, said power companies.
– For the first time we have a bloc agreement on energy policy, says Anders Ferbe.
The key is that it creates long-term conditions for Swedish industry, is now party policy laid aside, according Ferbe.
the agreement opens the way for new nuclear power plants. And it is good that the deal is open for future technologies. Ferbe have no problem with new nuclear power stations if needed to meet energy needs.
– I do not think we should throw out the possibility of a discussion of fourth-generation nuclear technology, he said.
“the abolition of the output tax is an important prerequisite for us to consider the investments required to ensure long-term operation of our nuclear reactors,” writes Magnus Hall, CEO of Vattenfall, in a press release.
He notes, however, that the profitability of nuclear power despite the abolition of the output tax is a challenge because of the prevailing electricity prices.
He asks for more clarity on a Nordic cooperation and long term security of supply and a support system for renewable energy including reduce investor risk.
“the substantial increase in renewable energy needs to be combined with significantly enhanced power transmission between Sweden and other countries. Waterfall prefer that the Energy Commission specify the plan for this, “continues Hall.
– First of all, I think it’s very good to have a broad agreement that provides a clear direction forward. It feels good to so many parties are behind this and take responsibility, and that has taken hold of the most pressing issues, says Jonas Abrahamsson, CEO of Eon.
He welcomes the agreement to remove taxation nuclear, and see it as a prerequisite for being able to operate nuclear power on and it creates an opportunity to ask about in a controlled way.
But he believes that some questions still lack answers.
– It is good with a clear goal of continued transition to renewable. But I think that we should be prepared to look at how to ensure that there are incentives to invest in renewable energy as well as planerbar basic production. The issues are unresolved, says Jonas Abrahamsson.
The energy group Fortum is also in favor of the energy deal, in particular, the phasing out of output tax.
“We now see a realistic opportunity to fulfill the necessary investments to meet the requirement for independent core cooling by 2020, “writes Fortum in a press release.
Energy Agency Director General Erik Brandsma is also positive.
– It is very good to have a agreement. It is important that we have a clarity about property tax and output tax and it is good with clear goals for the future, he said.
The deal means that the door is open for the Swedish nuclear power in the future, but the conditions of the nuclear power companies will change, according to Brandsma
the wind industry lacks a lot.
– It is well with long-term approach with the objective hundred percent renewable by 2040, but has failed profitability problems of wind power, says Charlotte Unger Larson, president of the industry organization Swedish wind energy.
Since earlier ambition has been to develop the Swedish wind power production to 30 TWh by 2020. the new agreement extends the 18 TWh. But the Swedish Wind Energy would have liked more.
– We have said that we could get it to at least 60 TWh in total, now it will be a total of 40 TWh. It has not made use of the potential that could be done within the renewable says Charlotte Unger Larson.
Swedish Wind Energy also believes that today’s electricity certificate system does not work.
– Energy Commission said that we must do something about the current system, and promptly remove the excess certificates to regain investor confidence, says Charlotte Unger Larson.
