The homeowners who are affected by Sweden's biggest cost increase live here

The report covers waste, water and sewage (VA), electricity networks and electricity trade. Over the course of a year, costs have increased by an average of 11.9 percent.

It increases the most in Pajala, where it has become 10,646 kroner, or 21.6 percent, more expensive in one year. The increase is mainly due to greatly increased VA costs.

- There is continuous work because our facilities are very old. Among other things, we have built a new treatment plant for waste water and sludge, says Camilla Fredriksson who is head of technology and service in Pajala.

Long advantage of low electricity trade prices gone

But the major common cost driver in Norrbotten is the electricity trade.

- Norrbotten has long had the advantage of low electricity retail prices, but this year we see how the electricity instead drives up the costs sharply. The tax cut softens the blow on the electricity grid side, but it is not enough to offset the wider cost increase for households, says Jonathan Lindgren of the Villaägarnas riksförbund, who wrote the report.

Most expensive and cheapest in the country

The differences between the municipalities are large. Like last year, Trosa has the country's highest operating costs, while Lycksele has the lowest. For the report's typical villa, there is a difference of SEK 33,480 per year between the municipalities.
