Sweden's Nuclear Energy Expansion Plans Unveiled
Sweden is shifting its nuclear energy policy from a phase-out to an expansion, as discussed in a recent episode of the Energy Technology podcast. The Swedish government has lifted the cap on nuclear reactors, opened new sites, and introduced measures to accelerate investments in nuclear energy. The country's nuclear roadmap includes adding at least 2.5GW of capacity by 2035 and the equivalent of 10 new reactors by 2045. Carl Berglöf, the national nuclear power coordinator of the Swedish Ministry of Climate and Enterprise, elaborated on these plans, highlighting the strategic shift in Sweden's energy policy.
