STOCKHOLM, May 21 (Reuters) - Sweden's parliament passed legislation on Wednesday to finance a new generation of nuclear reactors the government says are key to energy security and achieving net zero emissions by 2045.
The government plans four large-scale reactors - with installed capacity of around 5,000 MW - or the equivalent in small, modular reactors (SMRs). Half of those should be on-stream by 2035.

"We need more stable, fossil-free electricity at a competitive price," Energy Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch said on X. "This is the way we can support growth, our defence capabilities, and make sure Swedish families get electricity at a reasonable price every day."
