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.

The global shift to renewable energy is gaining pace, but Sweden has seen limited new investments in recent years. That’s why this summer we made two strategic acquisitions to strengthen our position when the market turns. We have added the Fageråsen wind project in Dalarna (up to 34 turbines, 700 GWh annually) and a 60% stake in the fully permitted Duvhällen project near Eskilstuna (150 GWh annually). Both are expected to be operational by 2028. "These projects are a clear example of how we’re putting our strategy into action. By adding key assets in strategic regions, we are well-positioned to meet Sweden’s increasing electricity demands and continue our role as a reliable, long-term partner in the energy transition," says Emelie Zakrisson, Country Manager OX2 Sweden.

We’re excited to be part of a groundbreaking initiative led by Finnish technology company Liquid Sun Ltd, which is launching a globally unique pilot to produce synthetic sustainable aviation fuel (eSAF) from biogenic CO₂ emissions and renewable hydrogen. This pilot, in co-operation with Liquid Sun, ABB, Fortum and Finavia, is an important step towards establishing a functioning value chain for synthetic fuel production in Finland – and supporting the goals of the EU’s eSAF blending mandate. At Finnair, we’re committed to reducing the carbon emissions of our operations, and we see synthetic fuels playing a key role in long-term decarbonisation of aviation. This collaboration supports our goal to accelerate the transition to more sustainable flying. “Aviation is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonize, and its energy transition will require new innovation and collaboration across the value chain. We want to contribute to developing Finland’s capability in synthetic aviation fuel production while advancing the industry’s carbon neutrality goals,” says Riku Aho, our Vice President, Energy Transition.

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.

We are pleased to confirm that Lyten, the global leader in lithium-sulfur batteries, has today announced that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire Northvolt’s remaining assets in Sweden and Germany. The acquisition includes Northvolt Ett (Skelleftea, Sweden), Northvolt Labs (Västeras, Sweden), and Northvolt Drei (Heide, Germany). Full press release → https://lnkd.in/exXB9qcb “This is a defining moment for Lyten,” stated Dan Cook, Lyten CEO and Co-Founder. “Lyten’s mission is to be the leading supplier of clean, locally sourced and manufactured batteries and energy storage systems in both North America and Europe. The acquisition of Northvolt’s assets brings the facilities and Swedish talent to accelerate this mission by years, just at the moment when demand for Lyten lithium-sulfur batteries is growing exponentially to meet energy independence, national security, and AI data center needs.” Ebba Busch, Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden, stated: “Lyten’s acquisition of the Northvolt assets is a win for Sweden, for the former employees of Northvolt, and for positioning Sweden as key to Europe’s energy independence. We have been working closely with the Trustee and Lyten to fully support this deal and we are excited to work with Lyten moving forward to make good on the immense potential of these assets.”

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
