Investment plan

Vattenfall’s investment strategy reflects our goal of achieving fossil freedom. 

Vattenfall has decided on an investment plan for 2025–2029 amounting to SEK 170 billion. Gross investments amount to SEK 236 billion. The difference is mainly due to partnering related to offshore projects, namely the Nordlicht projects in Germany and Zeevonk in the Netherlands, as well as develop-to-sell assumptions for onshore wind, mainly Windplan Blauw and Clashindarroch II, and solar projects. The amounts stated below refer to net investments.

Growth investments total SEK 104 billion with the largest share, around SEK 72 billion, planned for investments in new wind power. Vattenfall will also invest in the development and expansion of electricity grids and district heating. Other growth investments mainly include charging infrastructure.
