Rolls-Royce SMR will bring new nuclear power to Sweden Swedish nuclear developer Videberg Kraft has selected Rolls-Royce SMR as its partner to deliver three Small Modular Reactors at the Videberg site on the Värö peninsula, in Varberg on Sweden’s west coast. This decision follows recent contract awards in the UK and Czech Republic, reinforcing Rolls-Royce SMR’s position as Europe’s leading SMR. Sweden’s first new nuclear power plants in more than 40 years will add 1500 MWe of clean, reliable baseload electricity - strengthening energy security and powering the country’s green transition for decades to come. Chris Cholerton Rolls-Royce SMR Chief Executive, said: “Following a rigorous selection process that began in 2022 and considered both large-scale and small modular reactor options, we are delighted to have been selected by Videberg Kraft as its partner to bring new nuclear power to Sweden. This is a strong endorsement of our transformational approach to delivery of a standardised fleet of SMRs. “This decision further demonstrates growing market confidence in our technology, and we deeply appreciate the strong collaboration with the Videberg Kraft team and the trust placed in us.” This decision builds on the strong foundations that have been established in the UK, where we are building long-term capability, skills and supply chain strength. Rolls-Royce SMR deploys proven nuclear technology using a standardised, factory-built model, transforming the way nuclear projects are delivered and providing greater cost and schedule certainty. Videberg Kraft joins a growing European fleet of Rolls-Royce SMRs, enabling shared expertise across construction and long-term operations, while creating skilled jobs, strengthening regional supply chains and unlocking export opportunities for Sweden, the UK and the Czech Republic. #SMR #NuclearEnergy #CleanEnergy #EnergySecurity #NetZero #Sweden #EnergyTransition
