What's at stake: More efficient energy use reduces the need to expand electricity production and grids and can lower costs for households, property owners and industry. How ambitiously the state supports this work affects how quickly the potential in existing buildings and operations is realised.
Case texts and AI reasoning are AI-translated from the Swedish originals; the Swedish text is authoritative.
What the vote decides
The question is whether the Riksdag should issue directives calling for a new long-term support system and state-funded support for energy efficiency in housing and industry, or whether the government's ongoing work to review the national energy-efficiency target and existing support schemes should be allowed to continue without such directives.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee shares the government's view that efficient energy use contributes to security of supply, competitiveness and ecological sustainability, and welcomes the government stepping up efforts through, among other things, more developed energy planning, climate advice and extended support for energy efficiency in single-family homes. The committee also considers that the national energy-efficiency target should be reviewed, but sees no grounds for the Riksdag to additionally issue the directives on new support systems that the motions call for, and rejects them.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 27 (MP)
The reservation (MP) calls for a long-term system for large-scale energy efficiency improvements, such as a quota-obligation model or an auction system, coordinated planning for smart buildings, state support covering 60 percent of the cost of efficiency measures for households and property owners during an initial period, simplified energy management in multi-family buildings, and support for energy efficiency in industry. The reasoning is that energy efficiency is the fastest and cheapest way to reduce the environmental impact of energy production and lower costs for households and businesses, but that this potential has not so far received the attention it deserves.
