BusinessVattenfall is starting a separate nuclear power company and is on its way to bringing in Volvo, ABB, SSAB and other industrial giants as co-owners. It facilitates that those who want the electricity are also owners, according to Desirée Comstedt, head of new nuclear power at Vattenfall.
BusinessThe Government is now presenting its plan for financing new nuclear power – something that is welcomed by the industry. We are preparing ourselves to submit an application in the autumn, says Desirée Comstedt, responsible for the development of new nuclear power at Vattenfall.
BusinessVattenfall is expected to decide on whether to invest in new nuclear power first in 2029/30, writes SvD.
BusinessThe planned new nuclear reactors at Ringhals will not fit. At least not if the nature reserve on the Väröhalvön is to remain. Now Vattenfall is taking the unusual step of applying to the County Administrative Board to revoke the reserve.
BusinessThe potential nuclear power plant builders, Vattenfall and Fortum, are of course positive to the proposal that the state takes a large part of the risk. However, whether the price guarantee of 80 öre per kWh is sufficient is uncertain. It is too early to determine that level, says Desirée Comstedt at Vattenfall.
BusinessVattenfall is moving forward with the next step in the plans for new nuclear power at Ringhals, announces the state-owned energy giant in a press release.
