S calls Ebba Busch to the business committee on Swedish power grid

It is storming internally at Svenska Kraftnät, DN could reveal on Wednesday. The reason, according to DN's sources, is the appointment of Maja Lundbäck as director general. Lundbäck receives extensive criticism from several high-ranking managers for his leadership. The sources wish to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals. Several state that they are considering leaving the authority.

Maja Lundbäck commented on the criticism in an email from her press department:

"I take opinions from employees very seriously and want to have an open dialogue about things that can be improved. However, I find it difficult to comment on information that is presented anonymously. As a manager, you can always expect to receive comments on your leadership, it is part of the role of manager."

Now the Social Democrats will call the minister responsible for the authority, Ebba Busch (KD), to the business committee.

- Due to the media information about the situation at SVK, we want Ebba Busch to come to the committee and give an account of the management. Since the authority is so central to the electricity and energy system, it is important that the government takes the information seriously, says the Social Democrats' energy and business policy spokesperson Fredrik Olovsson.

What do you want the government to do?

- Even though it is a transitional government, we really want to make sure that the government in its governance does everything it can to get this in order. This is an incredibly important authority, it has grown significantly and has huge tasks ahead to expand our electricity system. If you cannot maintain key competence and keep pace with the agency's work, it affects the whole of Sweden.

- It is so serious that Ebba Busch needs to ensure that this is an authority that works.

DN has applied for Ebba Busch.
