Vattenfall's Annual and Sustainability Report 2023:

Continued work for fossil freedom

 

Vattenfall's Annual and Sustainability Report for 2023 contains a special focus on offshore wind and new nuclear power - necessary factors for the green energy transition as well as Vattenfall's continued work for fossil freedom.

 

The demand for fossil-free energy increased during 2023, and the targets for the energy transition have never been higher. However, the required build-out is not keeping pace. Investments need to multiply and the right incentives for those affected by the necessary new infrastructure must be developed.

 

Vattenfall is committed to building a future where everyone can choose fossil-free ways to move, make, and live. In 2023, we accelerated progress towards our goal - from the inauguration of the Hollandse Kust Zuid wind farm to helping Bristol in the UK decarbonise through a citywide district heating network.

 

In 2024, we will continue to leverage our existing business and the opportunities the green energy transition will give us.

 

"I truly believe that the energy transition is a possibility and that we as a society, with full respect for the complexity, should act together now to make it happen. Vattenfall is ready to do our part," says Vattenfall's CEO and President Anna Borg.
