“Both Sweden and the United States have extensive experience with nuclear energy, and both countries have plans to expand it,” said Swedish Energy Minister Ebba Busch in a statement.
In November 2023, Sweden unveiled a plan to expand its nuclear energy capacity in the coming decades to meet growing electricity demand. In the first phase, Stockholm aims to build reactors with a total capacity of at least 2,500 megawatts by 2035. Sweden currently operates six reactors at three nuclear power plants.
