The Swedish nuclear technology company Blykalla is planning to build six small nuclear reactors in Norrsundet, Gävle, according to reports from Swedish media. The company reportedly aims to apply for permits during 2026 and has already reached an agreement with the port to investigate the possibilities for the project.
On Wednesday evening, Blykalla held an information meeting at Fyren in Norrsundet, where the company's establishment manager Andreas Törnblom met with the Hamrånge group to discuss the plans. According to Gefle Dagblad, the meeting included presentations about the proposed reactor designs.
The decision to proceed in Norrsundet is based on both the location's favorable conditions and the growing need for stable, fossil-free electricity to enable industrial development.
Jakob Stedman, CEO of Blykalla, stated in a press release that the decision to proceed in Norrsundet is based on both the location's favorable conditions and the growing need for stable, fossil-free electricity to enable industrial development. The company's plans represent a significant nuclear power investment in the Gävle region.
The project is still in the planning stages, with formal permit applications expected to be submitted later this year. Local groups including the Hamrånge group have been briefed on the proposal as part of early community engagement efforts.
