Electricity support payments to begin in early June, says Swedish government

The Swedish government has announced that payments for January and February’s electricity support will start in early June, with most households receiving funds before the summer holidays, SVT Nyheter reports.

Energy Minister Ebba Busch confirmed the timeline in a statement on Friday, saying the majority of eligible households would receive the subsidy “in time for the holiday.” The regulation covering the support for January and February will take effect on May 26, with the Swedish Social Insurance Agency handling disbursements shortly afterward.

No further details were provided on the exact payment dates or eligibility criteria.
