Which company did Vattenfall select to supply small modular nuclear reactors, and what is the significance of this decision in Sweden's energy strategy?

Vattenfall selected Britain's Rolls-Royce SMR to supply a series of small modular nuclear reactors. This decision is significant because it supports Sweden's first new nuclear reactor construction in over 40 years, enabled by legislation passed last year to finance a new generation of reactors — a move the Swedish government deems essential for both energy security and achieving net zero emissions by 2045.

How many Rolls-Royce SMRs is Vattenfall planning to deploy through its Videberg Kraft venture, and what total output would they provide?

Vattenfall’s Videberg Kraft venture planned to order either five BWRX-300 reactors from GE Vernova or three Rolls-Royce small modular reactors (SMRs), with the latter option expected to deliver a total output of around 1,500 MW.
