First six months 2025: Investments today – for a fossil-free future Electricity prices in the Nordic region fell during the first half of 2025 and Vattenfall’s total electricity generation declined. Despite this, Vattenfall reports an improved underlying operating profit. Contributing to the improvement in earnings were more favourable effects from price hedging on the continent and improved results from both trading and distribution operations. During the quarter, we took an investment decision that enables increased capacity at the Harsprånget hydro power plant in Sweden and obtained several permits for the Muir Mhòr wind farm off the east coast of Scotland.

Renewables like solar and wind are weather-dependent, bringing intermittency into the grid. For them to be reliable, the energy system needs to be flexible. Good news: Norrsken House Stockholm alumni John Diklev figured it out, and founded Flower back in 2020. With its AI-powered platform, Flower harnesses energy sources (think everything from wind and solar farms to residential batteries and EV chargers) and redistributes electricity where and when it’s needed. Cherry on top of the grid? That flexibility enables them to optimize renewable energy assets and refine their output, from volatile and costly to fixed and affordable. Make sure to follow their progress! Flower, John Diklev

Why Vattenfall’s new commercial is great Spoiler: It’s not Samuel L. Jackson. It’s because the message is: 1️⃣ Bold 2️⃣ Timely 3️⃣ Bigger than the company Exactly what the renewable energy industry needs right now. Let’s unpack further 👇 1️⃣ Bold In a sea of safe “energy for a sustainable future” slogans, Vattenfall takes a stand. It dares to be different and take a clear position. 2️⃣ Timely At a time when climate concern is fading and wind power is under fire, Vattenfall is crystal clear on its commitment and that it’s important. 3️⃣ Bigger than the company Vattenfall promotes renewable energy and its industry just as much as itself. The message resonates with everyone that want a low-carbon future. Sure, Samuel L. Jackson adds punch, humour, and reach. But other energy companies don’t need a Hollywood star to make impact. It’s the underlying fundamentals in the message that is core to the commercial’s success. Renewable energy producers, shall we take a page out of this playbook? Let’s be bold, timely, and focus beyond our company. It’s good for business and for climate.

Liquid Wind receives SEK 39 million funding to advance eFuel project in Sweden Liquid Wind has secured SEK 39 million in funding from #Industriklivet, the Swedish Energy Agency’s program supporting the green transition in industry. The grant will support the pre-engineering phase of the company’s full-scale eMethanol facility in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, paving the way for a future investment decision on the eFuel plant. The planned facility will produce 100,000 tons of eMethanol per year by combining green hydrogen from electrolysis with 150,000 tons of captured biogenic CO₂ from Övik Energi AB’s biofuel-powered CHP plant. This integrated approach is expected to avoid 200,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually, providing a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels in hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping, aviation, and the chemical industry. Claes Fredriksson, CEO and founder of Liquid Wind, says the funding represents a strong commitment from the Swedish government and signals confidence to international investors and offtakers. “It is a clear endorsement of our vision to scale local and resilient eFuel solutions in Europe,” he explains. With this project, Örnsköldsvik is set to strengthen its role as a frontrunner in Sweden’s green energy transition while Liquid Wind moves closer to delivering large-scale, low-carbon solutions for transport and industrial sectors.

At Liquid Wind we’re proud to support three of today’s most critical geopolitical priorities: 🌱 Climate Action Our six eFuel projects across the Nordics will collectively avoid 1.1 million tons of fossil emissions annually from the shipping industry — helping decarbonise one of the hardest-to-abate sectors.  🔐 Energy Security With 98% of Europe’s oil currently imported, local production of sustainable liquid fuels is essential. By enabling domestic eFuel production, we can reduce Europe’s dependence on external energy sources and support resilience against supply chain disruptions and price volatility. 🏭 Industrial Competitiveness Sweden’s strength lies in innovation, sustainability, and global exports. Our facilities are designed to reinforce that leadership — building a future-oriented industry based on clean, scalable technologies. We believe that locally produced, fossil-free eFuels are not only a climate solution — but also a backbone for a more secure and competitive Europe. 🔗 Learn more about our mission: https://lnkd.in/dCW-zbjM #ClimateAction #EnergySecurity #IndustrialCompetitiveness #eFuels #MaritimeDecarbonisation #GreenTech #LiquidWind #FossilFree
