Markus Wråke is CEO of the energy companies' research company Energiforsk. When he was interviewed on Thursday by the SVT program 30 Minuter, he explained that it is the politicians' shutdown of the reactors in Ringhals that has raised the price of electricity by approximately double. were in operation. Last fall, Energiforsk released a report that showed exactly this, and that conclusion still applies according to Wråke.

– The study we did indicates that if they had remained – all else being equal, it should be noted – then the prices would have probably been 30-50 percent lower in southern Sweden. And that is probably the order of magnitude we would talk about even if we redid this study now, he tells SVT.
