We are pleased to confirm that Lyten, the global leader in lithium-sulfur batteries, has today announced that it has entered into a binding agreement to acquire Northvolt’s remaining assets in Sweden and Germany. The acquisition includes Northvolt Ett (Skelleftea, Sweden), Northvolt Labs (Västeras, Sweden), and Northvolt Drei (Heide, Germany). Full press release → https://lnkd.in/exXB9qcb “This is a defining moment for Lyten,” stated Dan Cook, Lyten CEO and Co-Founder. “Lyten’s mission is to be the leading supplier of clean, locally sourced and manufactured batteries and energy storage systems in both North America and Europe. The acquisition of Northvolt’s assets brings the facilities and Swedish talent to accelerate this mission by years, just at the moment when demand for Lyten lithium-sulfur batteries is growing exponentially to meet energy independence, national security, and AI data center needs.” Ebba Busch, Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden, stated: “Lyten’s acquisition of the Northvolt assets is a win for Sweden, for the former employees of Northvolt, and for positioning Sweden as key to Europe’s energy independence. We have been working closely with the Trustee and Lyten to fully support this deal and we are excited to work with Lyten moving forward to make good on the immense potential of these assets.”

First six months 2025: Investments today – for a fossil-free future Electricity prices in the Nordic region fell during the first half of 2025 and Vattenfall’s total electricity generation declined. Despite this, Vattenfall reports an improved underlying operating profit. Contributing to the improvement in earnings were more favourable effects from price hedging on the continent and improved results from both trading and distribution operations. During the quarter, we took an investment decision that enables increased capacity at the Harsprånget hydro power plant in Sweden and obtained several permits for the Muir Mhòr wind farm off the east coast of Scotland. Read Vattenfall´s President and CEO Anna Borg´s comments on the interim report for January-June 2025: https://lnkd.in/eAacYyEM #Vattenfall #quarterlyreport #financialreport

🔌 Interconnection will be in the spotlight tomorrow, as EU Energy Ministers gather in Copenhagen for the Informal Energy Council. 📈 Europe’s energy security goals will not be met without closing the gaps between where our grid is headed by 2030 and where it needs to be. Our updated interconnection data tool shows the scale of the challenge up to 2040: https://lnkd.in/ejATH4mq Europe needs independent and integrated infrastructure planning to channel investment into the most cost-efficient solutions.

Monsson Accelerates Swedish Expansion with New 20 MWh BESS Project in Härryda Two months after its first Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) acquisition in Sweden, Monsson has secured a second project—a 20 MWh facility in Härryda, western Sweden. Scheduled for construction in the fall of 2025, the facility will consist of two of Monsson’s signature 10 MWh battery units, optimized for cold-weather performance and reliable operation in Nordic conditions, utilizing an enclosed warehouse solution. Monsson acquired the project from Fu-Gen, a Nordic developer with a proven development history, including recent divestments totaling over 100 MW of BESS projects in Sweden and Finland. Monsson will serve as EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) provider and retain full ownership and operational responsibility. “Our investment in Härryda reinforces Monsson’s commitment to building a robust portfolio of flexible storage assets across Sweden,” said Sebastian Enache, Head of M&A at Monsson Group. “To support our expansion strategy, we will also launch commercial and technical BESS training sessions in Stockholm this fall, aimed at helping the local industry gain deeper insight into how storage can enhance grid stability, unlock profitability, and accelerate the adoption of next-generation technologies.” With ongoing initiatives in Germany, Finland, Italy, and Croatia, Monsson is targeting more than 1 GWh of energy storage across Europe, over 200 MWh of which is planned for Sweden. “Several additional Swedish projects are nearing announcement,” concluded Joanna Lillequist, CEO of Monsson Energy AB. “Our focus remains on identifying scalable storage opportunities and delivering them through Monsson’s climate-adapted BESS platform and integrated delivery model.”

Liquid Wind receives SEK 39 million funding to advance eFuel project in Sweden Liquid Wind has secured SEK 39 million in funding from #Industriklivet, the Swedish Energy Agency’s program supporting the green transition in industry. The grant will support the pre-engineering phase of the company’s full-scale eMethanol facility in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, paving the way for a future investment decision on the eFuel plant. The planned facility will produce 100,000 tons of eMethanol per year by combining green hydrogen from electrolysis with 150,000 tons of captured biogenic CO₂ from Övik Energi AB’s biofuel-powered CHP plant. This integrated approach is expected to avoid 200,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually, providing a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels in hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping, aviation, and the chemical industry. Claes Fredriksson, CEO and founder of Liquid Wind, says the funding represents a strong commitment from the Swedish government and signals confidence to international investors and offtakers. “It is a clear endorsement of our vision to scale local and resilient eFuel solutions in Europe,” he explains. With this project, Örnsköldsvik is set to strengthen its role as a frontrunner in Sweden’s green energy transition while Liquid Wind moves closer to delivering large-scale, low-carbon solutions for transport and industrial sectors.

BATTERIES: THE MISSING PIECE IN EUROPE’S GREEN ENERGY PUZZLE?  As EU energy ministers gather in Denmark this week under the Danish EU Presidency, we hope that battery storage is high on the agenda. Our VP of Renewable Energy Trading & Optimisation, Kristian Gjerløv-Juel, today shared his perspective in Børsen: Batteries could become the key to unlocking cheap, green power across Europe – but only if we act now. While offshore wind, Power-to-X and CCS enjoy clear strategies and strong support, battery storage remains underprioritised in several EU countries. That’s a missed opportunity. At Centrica Energy, we’re already optimising commercial battery assets across several European markets. In Denmark, our partnership with Battman Energy on a 10 MW project shows that it is possible, but we need the right framework to scale. Europe needs flexibility, and batteries are one of the most obvious solutions. Let’s use this moment to bring them to the forefront of the energy transition. You can find the full opinion piece in the comments below. #CentricaEnergy #EnergyMoversByNature
