Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Forslaget skal sikre implementeringen af tiltag fra stemmeaftale om robuste rammer for elnetvirksomhedernes økonomi af 10. juni 2024 og gennemførelsen af EU’s elmarkedsdirektiv. Af stemmeaftalen følger implementeringen af et nyt grønt elektrificeringstillæg, som skal sikre, at elnetvirksomhederne kan få dækket deres meromkostninger som følge af elektrificeringen igennem et øget elforbrug. Med elmarkedsdirektivet udvikles elmarkedet i lyset af energikrisen i 2022. Gennemførelsen af elmarkedsdirektivet skal bl.a. beskytte forbrugerne i perioder med høje og svingende elpriser. Loven foreslås at træde i kraft den 1. januar 2025. Lovens dele om elmarkedsdirektivet foreslås dog at træde i kraft den 17. januar 2025 og den 27. juli 2026.
