The project will consist of three 470 MW SMR units, for a combined capacity of 1410 MW, representing around 6 per cent of Sweden’s annual power consumption. It will be scheduled to have a 60-year operating life.

The first unit is due to enter operation in the mid-2030s.

The Rolls-Royce SMR is based on a compact, three-loop PWR.
