"Kiruna's municipal council fights back against Ebba Busch's criticism​

Kiruna municipality refused to decide on a detailed plan for the graphite mine in Vittangi. Now the energy and nutrition minister Ebba Busch (KD) has spoken out on the matter.
- We cannot have a development where individual municipalities start holding individual business establishments hostage, she says.

"My general, principled stance is that we cannot have a development where individual municipalities start holding individual business establishments hostage as a way to milk money out of the companies," says Ebba Busch (KD).

The municipal management in Kiruna stopped the detailed plan to make a political mark because they believe that new mines do not give the municipality anything back financially. - We have to get back a little bit of what we deliver to the state, says Kiruna's municipal councilor Mats Taaveniku (S) to P4 Norrbotten. In the radio program Kaliber in P1, Ebba Busch has now spoken out on the issue. - My g..." rbPW

I'm not quite sure what this above is supposed to do in the newspaper. This debate was held on 1 October, about 9 weeks ago. The government is in control, so dear Ebba, take action! She was probably reminded by PIK in Japan month later that a debate in parliament is not the end of the story. Force this plan at last!
It won't be long before the issue has been with the government for a year and nothing more has happened than warm air being expelled in debates. If it is important to protect the climate, then make a practical commitment to what is clearly and concretely on the table.
What we don't need is a debate that drags on for quarters.
This one should finally give the order. I'm fed up with politicians.

And at the end of January, the S and Isak From reply that he sees it the same way as Bush and that blackmail is not an option, but that he understands his party comrades in Kiruna. And then he demands that the government take urgent action. We've known that since 1 October.
And some wonders why some are getting tired.

I'm not laughing out of cynicism.

Responsible chief officer Department of Rural Affairs and Infrastructure Fredrik Ahlén:
There is unlikely to be a decision before the summer regarding the company Talga's request to the government for a planning injunction for a graphite mine outside Vittangi.

And 8 months later Ebba Bush reminds Kiruna that it is not okay to blackmail.

I don't know (yet) what exactly is behind it. I can't find any further information at the moment (Bergstaaten nor SGU). Maybe it's It seems to be just an extension of the permit to continue exploring the deposit.

Searching the pages is tedious. I really have to look at each entry individually for both ministries (objection to the concession at the Ministry of Climate and Economic Affairs and for the detailed plan at the Ministry of Agriculture and Infrastructure). A keyword search does not work.
But I am grateful to recognise a sign of life at all.

Government gives go-ahead for mine in Kiruna - overrules municipality
Updated today 16:40
The environmental licence was already in place. Now, moreover, the government has effectively overruled Kiruna municipality. This means that most things are ready for the new graphite mine.
- ‘We have concluded that there is a very strong national interest in this particular mining establishment,’ says Minister for Enterprise and Innovation Ebba Busch (KD).

The environmental permit was finally upheld last autumn when the Supreme Court denied the complainants a hearing. But Kiruna municipality was opposed. The municipality did not want to adopt the detailed plan for the mine construction, which prompted the mining company Talga to complain to the government.

Now the government has decided to go along with the mining company's line on the detailed plan.

- ‘We have weighed the interests heavily in this. And the government is not taking this lightly,’ says Ebba Busch.

Not enough reasons
- The arguments put forward by the municipality of Kiruna in support have not been strong enough, she continues.

Among other things, the municipality has pointed out that there is no financial incentive, there is no benefit for the municipality and its residents, it only creates more costs. But the government is not sending any money to patch up the wounds, even though Ebba Busch vaguely points to money that the government set aside in the autumn budget to ‘support housing construction around growth areas’.

- ‘We are now instructing the municipality to draw up a detailed plan for mining activities,’ says Minister Andreas Carlsson (KD).

Important for the EU battery industry
The decision is special. It is the first time the government has used the Planning and Building Act in this way, according to Carlsson. The municipality has until 16 May, otherwise the County Administrative Board will be given the task, at the municipality's expense.*

Last autumn, when Talga had its environmental permit finally clarified, the company said that it should be able to have an anode factory up and running in Luleå, where the graphite will be transported, in 18-24 months once the detailed plan is approved.

- ‘This means that there will be a green light for the next step in a new mine that will be able to provide the graphite needed for much of the European battery industry. Today, both Sweden and the whole of Europe are heavily dependent on China,’ says Ebba Busch.

About half of the active material in an electric vehicle battery consists of graphite. The fact that battery manufacturer Northvolt is having problems is less important for Talga's plans. ‘Negotiations are being held with a large number of potential customers,’ the company's spokesperson told TT last autumn.

Regeringen ger klartecken för gruva i Kiruna – kör över kommunen

Miljötillståndet var redan hemma. Nu har dessutom regeringen i praktiken kört över Kiruna kommun. Därmed är det mesta klart för nya grafitgruvan. – Vi har kommit fram till att det här är ett mycket stort nationellt intresse i den här aktuella gruvetableringen, säger näringsminister Ebba Busch (KD).

"Government gives go-ahead for mine - overrules Kiruna municipality
Published today at 16.00
The government goes on the mining company Talga's line and requires Kiruna municipality to make a detailed plan for a graphite mine in Vittangi.

The government is thus overruling the municipality, which has not wanted to adopt a detailed plan for the mine construction. They argue that there is no economic incentive for Kiruna and that the mine would have cost the municipality more than it would have provided.

However, Minister for Enterprise and Innovation Ebba Busch says that Kiruna's arguments have not been strong enough."

"Press release from the Ministry of Rural Affairs and Infrastructure
Government orders Kiruna municipality to adopt detailed plan enabling graphite mine
Published 23 January 2025

The Government has decided that Kiruna municipality must adopt a detailed plan that makes it possible to conduct mining activities at the Nunasvaara graphite deposit in Vittangi. According to the government, it is urgent that a detailed plan is adopted as soon as possible.

- Graphite is an important mineral in battery production and the green transition. The European battery industry is currently dependent on imports, while China intends to impose export restrictions that could jeopardise the entire battery value chain. The government has made this decision based on the fact that the area is of national interest for the extraction of valuable substances and materials,’ says Minister for Infrastructure and Housing Andreas Carlson.

- ‘Sweden has the minerals needed and is crucial for the digital and green transition. We are known for standing for sustainability and good working conditions, especially in the mineral sector. The graphite that Talga intends to produce is a key material in the manufacture of batteries,’ says Ebba Busch, Minister for Energy and Industry.

Pursuant to Chapter 11, Section 15 of the Planning and Building Act, the Government has decided to order the Municipality of Kiruna to adopt a detailed plan enabling mining activities at the graphite deposit in Nunasvaara. The deposit contains high levels of graphite and is of national interest for valuable substances. The municipality has previously decided to suspend the planning work, but the government considers it urgent that a detailed plan be adopted as soon as possible.

A company planning to conduct mining activities in the area has requested that the Government order the municipality of Kiruna to adopt a detailed plan allowing land impact from the mining industry at the graphite deposit.

After investigating the matter, the Government has concluded that it is necessary for Kiruna municipality to be ordered to adopt a detailed plan, with reference to the national interest claim for valuable substances or materials.

By 16 May 2025 at the latest, the municipality of Kiruna must adopt a detailed plan enabling mining activities in the area in question in accordance with the request made to the Government."

The news is spreading very quickly.
I interpret the statements above to mean that Talga does not necessarily need the concession first, now or immediately.

So this is now the important step with a clear timetable. I hope there is no back door and that we will soon hear from the board and that the dates are now fixed for the conclusion of the negotiations.

"Disappointment after government mining approval: "Stop seeing us as a colony"

Published today at 19:41
The government is following the lead of mining company Talga and requiring the municipality of Kiruna to draw up a detailed plan for a graphite mine in Vittangi.

This means that most things are ready for the new graphite mine, which pleases Talga's Emma Själin.

Kiruna municipality believes that there is a lack of financial incentives for Kiruna - and Social Democrat councillor Mats Taaveniku is disappointed with the government's decision."

The government has decided to override the municipality of Kiruna and approves* the detailed plan for mining company Talga's proposed graphite mine in Vittangi. This is reported by TT.
