This year’s edition of the survey the Energy Barometer shows that about half of the respondents are willing to pay more for renewable power.

In the UK and Sweden, more than half are open to paying extra, while in Germany, Finland and the Netherlands, over 40% say the same. At the same time, 70% believe individual actions matter – and many have kept the energy-saving habits they started during the price crisis.

The survey is based on 5,000 responses across Germany, Finland, Sweden, the UK and the Netherlands.

How do you build wind turbines the size of the Eiffel Tower in the middle of the North Sea?

You begin below the surface, with steel foundations as long as a Boeing 747 and weighing roughly as much as 200 elephants. Each one must be positioned at exactly the right point on the seabed and installed with centimetre-level precision.

Behind that achievement are people spending weeks at sea for offshore wind project Nordlicht. They work 12-hour shifts, live together aboard Orion and solve challenges as one team, around 100 kilometres from shore.

In Episode 1 of “The People Behind Nordlicht” series, step aboard to meet the people building the foundations.

With heatwaves becoming more frequent across Europe, that makes heat pumps relevant all year round – helping homes stay comfortable through both winter cold and summer heat.

Many air-to-air heat pumps can work in reverse, providing cooling during hot summer days as well as heating in winter.

And if your home has solar panels, there’s another benefit: cooling demand is often highest when your panels are producing the most electricity.

Electricity from wind and solar is traded based on forecasts of how much energy they will generate. When reality differs from the prediction, electricity may need to be bought or sold at short notice – potentially adding costs.

That’s why Vattenfall’s weather experts combine meteorological forecasts, power market models and AI to improve accuracy. Better predictions mean less need for a more efficient energy system and, in the long term, lower costs.

Hydropower has been part of the energy system for more than a century. But the conditions around it are changing. At our R&D centre in Sweden, we’re studying how to adapt hydropower to new conditions – from more variable operation to lower-impact materials.

Here, large-scale models of dams and waterways are built and shaped to mirror real conditions. It allows us to test how water flows, how structures respond, and how designs can be improved before they are implemented.

As hydropower takes on a more flexible role in the energy system, this type of research helps us make informed decisions – both for existing plants and future development.

How do you add more fossil-free electricity without building new power plants?

By upgrading the ones already in place.

Across our hydropower fleet, we’re modernising turbines, generators and control systems. Since 2016, this has increased capacity by around 800 MW, with ongoing projects set to add hundreds more. That’s enough to supply hundreds of thousands of households each year.

At the same time, upgrades go hand in hand with efforts to improve biodiversity – from supporting fish migration to restoring habitats along regulated rivers.

Some challenges seem impossible at first. Until someone comes along with a different perspective. Suddenly, all it takes is a twist, a turn, a flash of brilliance and a slight change of plans to prove that the impossible was possible all along.

At Vattenfall, our attitude has always been that there’s a way to take on even the toughest challenges. So even when it feels like there’s no way to leave fossil fuels behind, we say: there’s only no way until there is one.

Every great achievement begins with a failed attempt. A fall. A stumble. A missed step that makes progress feel out of reach. But progress has always been driven by those who get up and try again. That use their determination, willpower and a hint of human ingenuity to find a way.

At Vattenfall, our attitude has always been that there’s a way to take on even the toughest challenges. So even when it feels like there’s no way to leave fossil fuels behind, we say: there’s only no way until there is one.

With fossil free electricity, there’s a way.

At Vattenfall, our attitude has always been that there’s a way. Progress is rarely easy, but always possible – with the right mindset. Time has taught us that human ingenuity, confidence, and determination have enabled achievements that once seemed impossible - both in people’s everyday lives and in society. So even when it feels like there’s no way, we say: there’s only no way until there is one. That’s our attitude to leaving fossil fuels behind. With fossil-free electricity, there's a way.

Our new wind farm Bruzaholm is already creating value beyond electricity production.

More than 70% of the subcontractors involved in the project are based in Eksjö or neighbouring municipalities, contributing to local jobs and strengthening regional businesses throughout the construction phase.

The wind farm also brings direct financial support to the local community. Through the Swedish government’s wind power support scheme, Eksjö municipality is expected to receive around SEK 2.8 million in 2026. In addition, Vattenfall allocates SEK 13,000 per wind turbine to local initiatives – amounting to more than SEK 500,000 in 2025 alone.

The project shows how renewable energy can create direct value for local communities as part of the energy transition.
