NHO krever strømtiltak: – Mange bedrifter er frustrerte
NHO-sjef Ole Erik Almlid frykter dyr strøm, og ber regjeringen ta tre grep.
Norsk Industriorganisasjon (NHO) is urging for increased electricity production as many businesses are feeling frustrated with soaring energy costs. The rise in electricity prices is attributed to war-related factors in Iran and Ukraine. NHO's administrative director, Ole Erik Almlid, warns that increased electricity costs could hinder Norwegian businesses' investments.
He predicts that electricity prices in the upcoming winter could reach 150-200 øre per kilowatt-hour, which would be similar to the levels seen in 2022. Almlid emphasizes the need for the government to take action, as the lack of new power generation capacity over the past four years has left businesses in a precarious position.
He advocates for increased support from Enova, Norway's energy agency, and calls for better fixed-price agreements for businesses. NHO also stresses the importance of energy efficiency measures, such as solar panels on rooftops and the use of batteries, to mitigate the impact of high energy costs.
