They’ll be set up on the Värö Peninsula near the decommissioned Ringhals Nuclear Power Plant in southern Sweden and will be able to generate 12 TWh of fossil-free electricity each year.
The SMRs will use pressurised water reactor technology, also used at Ringhals.
Rolls-Royce was awarded the contract by development company Videberg Kraft, which is owned by Swedish companies Vattenfall and Industrikraft.
The UK government supported Rolls-Royce’s bid, which it described as a “multi-billion-pound deal”.
Tufan Erginbilgic, Rolls-Royce’s chief executive, said: “Rolls-Royce SMR has now been successful in every competitively tendered SMR selection process in Europe and it is now very well placed to become a market leader globally.”
Sweden’s selection process began in 2022 and included 70 candidates.
Martin Darelius, Vattenfall’s acting head of new nuclear, said: “Our overall assessment is that they offer the strongest conditions for delivering a successful project. This has been a highly thorough process, which also has been reviewed by an independent party.”
In January 2026, Rolls-Royce was selected to provide SMRs for nuclear projects located at Wylfa in Wales and at Temelín in the Czech Republic.
