📣 Where do I complain about my energy company in Sweden?

The short answer

Start with the company itself, in writing. If that does not solve it, an independent body settles disputes with energy companies.

📜 The rules in Sweden

What to do first

Complain to the company first; it should reply within about four weeks. If it says no or doesn't answer, report to ARN within one year of your first complaint. Filing costs 150 kr. Free advice: Konsumenternas Energimarknadsbyrå.

Does it cost anything?

Many dispute bodies are free for consumers. The details for Sweden are on this page.

Is the decision binding?

That differs per country and body. The dispute body explains it before you start.

Can I still go to court?
