Secure Swedish ownership in Oskarshamn

The Social Democrats want to secure Swedish ownership of the nuclear power plant in Oskarshamn and demand that the government takes action.

Today, the energy company Uniper, which in turn is owned by the German state, is the majority owner of the facility.

We want the Swedish state to ensure Swedish ownership and demand that the government takes action, says the party's business policy spokesperson Fredrik Olovsson at a press conference.

The party does not rule out nationalization of the plant either.

We can imagine several models in this, says Olovsson.

The important role that the facility has today motivates increased state control.

According to Fredrik Olovsson, it is currently a crucial stage in the process, as the EU Commission has demanded that the German state sell the majority of the company by 2028 at the latest.

But in reality, it will happen earlier than that. In practice, it is already for sale now, he says.

Oskarshamn accounts for seven to eight percent of Sweden's annual electricity consumption. According to the party, Swedish ownership with state supervision would also mean that the effect can be increased.

It is in Sweden's interest to be able to increase the effect and extend the life of the facility into the 2060s, says Olovsson.
