Kärnfull Next welcomes governmental risk-sharing proposal
The Swedish government’s proposal for a national risk-sharing model for investments in new nuclear power is a historic and welcome step toward realizing the fossil-free electricity production that Sweden so urgently needs.
For Kärnfull Next, this is not only a confirmation of the growing momentum behind Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), but also a critical piece of the puzzle enabling progress in our Re:Firm South program, where locations such as Valdemarsvik, Motala, Västervik, Nyköping, and Karlshamn are already being evaluated as potential sites.
Christian Sjölander, CEO of Kärnfull Next, comments:
“This proposal is exactly what Sweden needs. It sends a clear signal to investors, municipalities, and technology providers: the state is ready to share the risks and enable these kinds of long-term infrastructure projects.
For our planned SMR initiatives, it means we can now take the next step in discussions with our partners to move the process forward. We are very much looking forward to initiating the application dialogue later this year. This step is good for the energy system, for industry – and for Sweden’s welfare at large.”
