"The application states that the project includes various alternatives with both smaller modular reactors (SMRs) and large-scale reactors. The electrical output in the different alternatives varies between 1,200 and 3,400 megawatts," the Government Offices writes in a press release.
Videberg Kraft, Blykalla, Studsvik and Nordic Baseload Power have previously applied for government support to build new reactors.
"Fortum is an established nuclear power player in both Finland and Sweden. The fact that it is setting up a project company in Sweden for the construction of new nuclear power shows that the Swedish support model is well balanced and serves its purpose," says Minister for Financial Markets Niklas Wykman (M) in a comment.
