We Welcome Two New Actors to the Studsvik Area

The Studsvik area, which for most people is associated with nuclear power, will now also be home to new actors in energy and research for a long-term sustainable future. A solar park and marine research activities, focusing on creating a healthy and viable Baltic Sea environment are being established.

Solar park
Better Energy Sweden AB is planning to establish a solar park with an output of approximately 20 MW, which corresponds to heating and energy supply for about 1,000 houses. This corresponds to a solar panel area covering about 30 football fields. The design planning is ongoing, and the hope is to connect the park to the grid in 2024.

Marine research activities
Research around the Baltic Sea environment is an activity that has existed in various forms in the Studsvik area since the start in the 1950s and until the 1990s, then under the direction of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. Now we can build further on that tradition with existing plans to establish marine research activities in the Studsvik area in the coming years.

“We are delighted to welcome Better Energy Sweden and marine research to the Studsvik area. These are two important activities that will contribute to our vision - to create an attractive place for research, innovation and technical development that supports our environment and contributes to long-term sustainable adaptation,” says Camilla Hoflund, President and CEO of Studsvik.

Studsvik Tech Park (Studsvik area)
Since the 1950s, Studsvik’s operations have formed a hub for Swedish nuclear research and have developed through the years into an international research and development center, contributing to safer and more efficient nuclear power, through construction, operation, decommissioning and final disposal.

Today Studsvik Tech Park is a place that gathers several activities with the aim of developing fossil-free energy sources, reducing carbon emissions and other environmental impact.
