“We are deeply concerned by the serious security situation in Europe and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,” Vattenfall said in a statement on Thursday.
The company said that due to the diversity of their suppliers from different countries, they can manage any irregularities in the supply. Therefore, the company said, the nuclear power supply will not be affected by their decision.
The company said they have no planned deliveries from Russia and will also not place any new orders from Russia to their nuclear plant until further notice.
Nuclear energy is responsible for 30 percent of Sweden’s electricity production in 2020. As of 2021, there are six nuclear reactors in operation in Sweden. The licensees of these reactors are until the 2040s.
