Power plants in Sweden
Power plants for fossil-free electricity production
Thanks to electrification, Sweden has excellent opportunities to succeed in its transition to fossil-free energy while remaining a competitive nation. At Uniper, we believe in a future where Sweden has reached its climate goals through a digitized industry and an electrified transport sector. We also envision a future with new electricity-intensive industries - such as fossil-free chemicals, electrofuels, and a growing cyber industry. It’s a future that is bright, exciting, and powered by electricity.
Nuclear power
Nuclear power accounts for around 30 percent of Sweden’s electricity production. Uniper takes full responsibility for its share of Sweden’s nuclear power and holds a unique position as a stakeholder in all of the country’s nuclear power plants: Oskarshamn, Ringhals, and Forsmark. We also own the Barsebäck plant, currently the site of one of Europe’s most advanced decommissioning projects.
Today, Uniper operates six reactors, which we continuously develop and invest in to ensure efficient, long-term operations for decades to come.

Power plants for system stability
The power grid must be balanced every minute of every day. This is challenging, as electricity cannot be stored on a large scale. That’s why backup capacity is crucial, available at any time, regardless of weather or season.
Production facilities for fossil-free transport
The transport sector faces a significant and challenging transformation. Today, it accounts for one third of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Meeting the sector’s future electricity demand will require a well-balanced electricity system that makes use of all fossil-free power sources
