Forsmark and Ringhals nuclear power plants aim for 80 years of operation of existing reactors
The owners of the Forsmark and Ringhals nuclear power plants in Sweden have taken a directional decision to extend the operating lifetime of the plants' reactors from 60 to 80 years. This would enable further fossil-free electricity into the 2060s, which favours the industry transition as well as the availability of efficient electricity supply to Swedish consumers.”Nuclear power will play an important role in Swedish fossil-free electricity production for many decades and it is therefore of the utmost importance to invest not only in new nuclear power, but also in our existing reactors.
