Hydro-power reservoirs are Sweden’s green batteries and by adding new flexibility and balancing capabilities, we are paving the way for a greater proportion of wind and solar power in the electrical system,” says Johan Dasht, Head of Vattenfall’s Hydro Power Operations in the Nordics. Four projects are planned.
The oldest power plant still in operation is Hemsjö Övre in Mörrumsån, commissioned in 1907. OKG is a nuclear power plant situated in the Simpevarps Peninsula, Oskarshamn, Sweden. Our hydro power assets in Sweden includes 74 run-of-river plants, located from Lycksele in the North to Kristianstad in the South.
Its 74 wholly and jointly owned hydro powerplants located from Lycksele in the North to Kristianstad in the South provide a combined output of approximately 1,700 MW and an annual delivery of about 8,000 GWh of renewable electricity. Corresponding to about 12% of Sweden’s total hydropower production.
The large year-round reservoirs enable us to utilize about half of the hydropower produced in Sweden. Instead of being wasted when inflows are very high during spring floods and periods of heavy precipitation, production is saved for a later time, when the demand for electricity rises.
In the Swedish electricity system, hydro power is currently Sweden’s largest source of renewable energy and accounts for approximately 45% of Swedish electricity generation. Together with nuclear power, hydropower is the foundation of the Swedish electricity system.
Together with nuclear power, hydropower is the foundation of the Swedish electricity system. Its operation causes no carbon emissions and the water is returned to the river after leaving the turbine. With its Swedish company, Sydkraft Hydropower AB, Uniper is Sweden’s third largest hydropower producer.
