Trouvé: More electricity crucial for western Swedish companies
The government has tried to raking the field. State-owned Vattenfall is in the starting blocks and has far-reaching plans for several new reactors at the Ringhals nuclear power plant. But time is running out for the Tidö parties and criticism of the financing of the new reactors has been harsh. This is what the roadmap looks like at the moment.
Sweden is to build new nuclear power. The government and state-owned Vattenfall are moving forward with plans for small modular reactors, SMRs, next to the Ringhals power plant.
Vattenfall is driving Swedish nuclear plans forward: by 2035, new small reactors will be launched in Ringhals. The conservative government is behind the project and promises state loans. However, the opposition warns against high costs and unrealistic timetables.
The electricity company Vattenfall is planning to build mini-reactors, so-called SMRs, in its future nuclear power expansion. The plan is for new nuclear power to be in place in Sweden by the mid-2030s. The small-scale nuclear power reactors will be built on the Värö Peninsula, where the Ringhals nuclear power plant is located, as it is considered the “best place” to get new nuclear power into operation in Sweden as quickly as possible.
