Construction of Vattenfall’s Clashindarroch II onshore wind farm near Huntly is demonstrating how renewable energy projects can reduce emissions across their full lifecycle while delivering benefits for local communities and the environment. The 63 MW wind farm, currently under construction in Aberdeenshire, builds on more than a decade of renewable energy generation at the existing Clashindarroch site. Once operational, it is expected to generate enough renewable electricity to power more than 61,500 UK homes (1) each year and avoid around 90,800 tonnes of CO₂ annually (2) by displacing fossil-fuel generated…

When the Bruzaholm onshore wind farm was inaugurated in southern Sweden on 20 May, representatives from the industry, the local municipality and the energy sector gathered to mark an important step for fossil-free electricity. Combining wind power with battery storage, the facility strengthens the supply of electricity for both households and businesses – and contributes to increased flexibility and competitiveness. In sunny weather, with the wind turbines spinning in the background, the Bruzaholm facility was inaugurated on 20 May in front of guests who had followed the project from development…

Vattenfall and Energy Bank, together with Volkswagen, are launching one of the world’s largest pilot projects for bidirectional charging. Around 200 chargers will be installed across central and southern Sweden to test how electric vehicles can support flexibility and stability in the power system. The electricity system is undergoing rapid change, with rising demand and a growing share of weather-dependent generation. This increases the need for flexible resources that can help balance supply and demand in real time. Bidirectional charging – also known as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) – allows electric vehicles…

The transition to a fossil-free society is more important than ever. Therefore, Vattenfall continues to accelerate its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while at the same time reporting a strong financial result. The 2025 Annual and Sustainability Report explains how the work is progressing. Since 2017, Vattenfall’s total emissions have decreased by 56%, which means that the company continues to be fully in line with the 1.5-degree target. Europe’s competitiveness is negatively affected by its high dependence on imported fossil fuels. EU still imports about 90% of its fossil…

Hybrid park Hommerdingen-Biesdorf is Vattenfall’s first combination of wind and PV in Germany and sets standards for modern, cost-efficient, and grid-friendly energy generation. Producing smarter electricity with renewable energies: Vattenfall is now starting construction of the hybrid power plant Hommerdingen-Biesdorf. For the first time in Germany, the company is combining electricity generation from wind and solar under one roof and implementing a concept that Vattenfall has already been successfully operating in the Netherlands for several years. It is another important step for the company to support the transition to fossil-free…
