If an unplanned power outage lasts at least 12 consecutive hours, you are normally entitled to power outage compensation. If the power is restored for less than two hours during the outage, it is considered a continuous outage. The minimum compensation is SEK 1, but the compensation may be higher depending on the length of the outage and your estimated annual network cost.

In the event of an outage of 24-48 hours, the compensation will be 37,5% ​​of the annual network cost or at least SEK 2.

You may also be entitled to compensation regardless of the length of the outage. However, consumers are not entitled to compensation if we, as the electricity network company, can show that the outage was caused by an obstacle beyond our control.

If you would like to know more about the right to interruption compensation, you are welcome to email or call our Customer Service. You can also read more in the Electricity Act, Chapter 3, 9d and on the Energy Market Inspectorate's website.
