Sweden is building a new nuclear power plant for the first time in 50 years: what this means for energy

The Prime Minister of Sweden, Ulf Kristersson, announced plans for the construction of a new nuclear power plant in the country, the first such project in the last fifty years. This was reported by Sweden Herald.

Kristersson emphasized that these plans are long-term and require political stability. He stated: 'Then it requires political stability from the business community. We are fully open to discussing future decisions with other parties.'

The CEO of Vattenfall, Anna Borg, stated that the group of the business community Industrikraft will actively participate in the process so that 'we can invest together.'

The leader of the 'Sweden Democrats' party, Jimmie Åkesson, also supported the idea of building a new nuclear power plant in Sweden, noting: 'I can assert that a new nuclear power plant will be built in Sweden, and within a reasonable timeframe.'

In connection with this news, it is worth noting that in France, the operation of the 'Gravelines' nuclear power plant units has been temporarily halted due to water supply system problems caused by a massive appearance of jellyfish.

The ultra-nuclear strategy was one of Ulf Kristersson's oldest ideas - building a nuclear power plant in Sweden. It is clear that this plan is a crucial step for the country, but the first actions are already known and laid down. The Swedes should really innovate the energy sector; it will be interesting to see how they handle the inter-party structures. Currently, it has significantly supported the move while the reader receives news from France regarding problems with the Gravelines nuclear power plant.
