Sector: Nuclear • Location: Sweden
Source: POWER Magazine
Swedish utility Vattenfall has narrowed its small modular reactor (SMR) supplier selection to two finalists—GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s BWRX-300 and the Rolls-Royce SMR—for potential construction of new nuclear capacity adjacent to its Ringhals plant site on Sweden’s Värö Peninsula. The project aims to build either five BWRX-300 SMRs or three Rolls-Royce SMRs, providing a total output of 1

Description
Description | Swedish utility Vattenfall has narrowed its small modular reactor (SMR) supplier selection to two finalists—GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s BWRX-300 and the Rolls-Royce SMR—for potential construction of new nuclear capacity adjacent to its Ringhals plant site on Sweden’s Värö Peninsula. The project aims to build either five BWRX-300 SMRs or three Rolls-Royce SMRs, providing a total output of 1,500 MWe. The project is necessary to meet rising electricity demand, bolster energy security, and advance Sweden's net-zero targets. Vattenfall's board decided on July 18, 2025, to build the new project following an extensive evaluation process. The utility is also considering building another 1 GW in a next step near Ringhals 1 and 2. Final investment decisions will be made later in the process. |
