Supervision symbol
If a supervision symbol (red triangle with an exclamation mark) is shown against an electricity supplier in Elpriskollen, there is a supervision decision from Ei directed against the company with an injunction for rectification with respect to one of the consumer protection provisions of the Electricity Act.
The supervision symbol is removed when the electricity supplier has taken corrective action and complied with all points in the supervision decision, or if the electricity supplier has appealed against Ei's decision and has won its court case.
Along with the supervision symbol, there is also a text that briefly summarises the decision. The text is visible if you hold the mouse pointer over the supervision symbol during your visit.
