Strong results and continued development of the energy system for the future

Vattenfall – interim report, January-June 2026

Vattenfall delivered a strong result for the first half of 2026. High Nordic electricity prices, mainly in the first two months, contributed to the result together with higher hydro and wind power production and a positive development in customer business and distribution. During the second quarter, Vattenfall made progress on several projects within our portfolio, including Videberg Kraft choosing Rolls Royce SMR as the supplier of new nuclear power on the Värö Peninsula, in southern Sweden the Bruzaholm hybrid park was inaugurated and in Germany the new Juliusburg/Krukow solar farm was put into operation. These are some examples where Vattenfall continues to drive the electrification of the markets in which we operate.

During the spring, geopolitical developments and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz have once again highlighted the vulnerability created by Europe's dependence on fossil fuels, with immediate effects on customers and businesses. Continued electrification, enabled by stable and long-term investment frameworks, is therefore the way forward to ensure a competitive and secure Europe.

"We report a strong result for the first half of the year, which gives us continued opportunities to invest in fossil-free electricity production och distribution. Over the next five years, we plan investments of SEK 165 billion, most of which will be in Sweden. Our strategy remains unchanged – to combine business acumen with leadership in the energy transition," says Anna Borg, Vattenfall's CEO.
