Rolls-Royce SMR selected to deliver Sweden’s first new nuclear power for over 40 years | Rolls-Royce

Alert

Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) welcomes the announcement that Rolls-Royce SMR has been selected by Videberg Kraft as its partner to deliver three Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) on Sweden’s west coast.

Success in Sweden’s rigorous selection process, which started in 2022, is further evidence of the momentum being generated by Rolls-Royce SMR and testament to its ability to deliver a scalable, repeatable nuclear solution. It follows the signing of a contract with Great British Energy – Nuclear (GBE-N) that paves the way for the way for the design and delivery of the first SMRs in the UK; and a contract with CEZ Group that enables work to progress on the Czech Republic’s first SMRs.

Tufan Erginbilgic, CEO, Rolls-Royce plc, said:

Rolls-Royce SMR has now been successful in every competitively tendered SMR selection process in Europe and it is now very well placed to become a market leader globally. Success in Sweden shows the real momentum that Rolls-Royce SMR is generating as it builds upon its crucial first-mover advantage in a market that is growing and attracting significant international interest.

“Selection by Videberg Kraft reinforces the status of Rolls-Royce SMR as the only company with multiple contractual commitments to deliver SMR units in Europe. It is an endorsement of our technology and technical capability to deliver a scalable, repeatable nuclear solution.

“This selection is also further evidence that the strategic choices we have made in the transformation of Rolls-Royce are delivering. We are unlocking significant future growth opportunities through our unique nuclear capabilities and are well positioned to benefit from the ongoing nuclear renaissance.”

Videberg Kraft is owned by the Swedish utility Vattenfall AB and Industrikraft i Sverige AB. The Videberg Project will build Sweden’s first new nuclear power plant in more than forty years, supporting industries and households in southern Sweden while enhancing energy security for the nation.
