Swedish Centre for Sustainable Hydropower, SVC, is a competence centre where the hydropower industry, academia and governmental authorities collaborate to ensure that hydropower can continue to be an enabler for a well-balanced and environmentally sustainable Swedish energy system under changing conditions.
Vattenfall has announced plans to construct new hydropower stations with a total capacity of 720MW in four locations across Sweden – the company’s first investment in new hydropower in the country in more than twelve years.
The outcome of the legislation was few hydropower plants in Sweden with fish passages, and minimum flow was usually limited to 5 % of average flow. Sweden has today approximately 1800 hydropower plants and 600 regulating dams. 203 plants above 10 MW provide 93 % of the 65 TWh hydropower and almost all regulatory power.
Hydro-power reservoirs are Sweden’s green batteries and by adding new flexibility and balancing capabilities, we are paving the way for a greater proportion of wind and solar power in the electrical system,” says Johan Dasht, Head of Vattenfall’s Hydro Power Operations in the Nordics. Four projects are planned.
This is the Swedish Energy Agency’s biggest competence centre, with a budget of SEK 280 million. Luleå University of Technology will be conducting research into sustainable, safe and optimised hydropower together with the business community, the public sector and six other universities.
Since industrialisation began, hydropower has provided Swedish society and industry with a unique combination of safe, low-cost and low-emission renewable electricity generation and will continue to be key to Sweden’s electricity generation and storage.
