The government has also proposed that SEK20 million (USD2.2 million) will be allocated annually until 2030 by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency to municipalities that want to conduct feasibility studies for new nuclear power.

In May this year, Sweden's parliament - the Riksdag - approved the government's proposals for providing state aid to companies that want to invest in new nuclear reactors in the country.

Sweden and the USA have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at pursuing cooperation in industrial collaboration, technology development, and research and innovation in technologies related to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

France and Sweden will "promote a regulatory, industrial and financial framework favourable to the realisation of nuclear installation projects with a high level of safety and ensuring institutional support for nuclear energy in compliance with the principle of technological neutrality and with the objective of strengthening Europe's sovereignty and energy security".

The agreement also said necessary regulations should be developed to create the conditions for the construction and operation of small modular reactors (SMRs) in Sweden. In addition, the permitting process for nuclear power plants must be shortened.

Sweden's six nuclear power reactors provide about 40% of its electricity. In 1980, the government decided to phase out nuclear power, but parliament repealed this policy in 2010.

The parties said the conditions for investments in nuclear power must be strengthened. The new government will provide special credit guarantees totalling SEK400 billion (USD35.7 billion), "with more generous terms than today's system"

The Vidar and Poseidon projects, located off Sweden’s west coast near Gothenburg, will primarily consist of floating wind turbines and will be able to generate 10.5 TWh/year of electricity when fully developed.

The Norwegian company Deep Wind Offshore has initiated a consultation on a 6 GW floating offshore wind project in the Swedish Baltic Sea comprising 240 x 25 MW or 300 x 20 MW turbines.

The Aurora project, which will be located 20 km south of Gotland and 30 km east of Öland, consist of up to 370 turbines with a maximum height of 370 meters.
