Helene Biström, Head of Business Area Wind at Vattenfall, has decided to step down

Helene Biström, Vattenfall’s Head of Business Area Wind since 2021, has decided to step down and leave executive life behind.

“I truly love my job, and I continue to feel excited about the journey we are on. However, after 42 years of operational life, I have concluded that it’s time to prioritise other things in life and pass this important task to the next generation of leaders,” says Helene Biström.

Vattenfall CEO Anna Borg adds: “Helene has made an outstanding contribution to Vattenfall, driving the growth of our wind business and establishing us as a key player in the European market. I am deeply impressed by how she has navigated an increasingly challenging environment in recent years, constantly identifying new opportunities for Vattenfall. Helene will be greatly missed by me and my colleagues across the company.”

With Vattenfall’s recent investment decision on the Nordlicht 1and 2 offshore windfarms in Germany, ambitious growth plans in onshore wind and large-scale solar, and a continued focus on cost efficiency and operational excellence, Vattenfall Business Area Wind is well-positioned for the future. As the business continues to advance with its strategy, the search for a new Head of Business Area Wind will begin immediately, initially focusing on internal candidates.

Helene Biström will remain in her role to ensure a smooth transition until a successor is appointed.
