Power plants
Vattenfall’s energy balance
Compared to both the global and European production mix, Vattenfall utilises proportionally more CO2 neutral sources, mainly due to our investments in nuclear and hydro power. There is a need for plants that deliver base power at all times, and other plants where generation can be adjusted to respond to changes in demand – known as regulation power or balance power. There are also intermittent energy sources, such as wind power plants, which sometimes generate power, sometimes not. Finally, there is a need for peak power plants that can be utilised during extreme demand situations.
Coal is included in fossil power. Biofuel and wind are included in other.
