OSLO, June 15 (Reuters) - Swedish utility Vattenfall said on Monday it has selected Britain's Rolls-Royce SMR RR.L to supply a series of small modular nuclear reactors.
Sweden's parliament last year passed legislation to finance a new generation of reactors, the first built in Sweden for more than 40 years and which the government says is necessary for energy security and achieving net zero emissions by 2045.
Vattenfall in August of 2025 said its Videberg Kraft venture planned to order either five BWRX-300 reactors from GE Vernova GEV.N or three Rolls-Royce small modular reactors (SMRs), to provide a total output of around 1,500 MW.
