Just days after Austria shut its last coal power plant, Sweden has followed suit with the closure of Stockholm Exergi AB’s Värtaverket plant, two years ahead of schedule. Belgium shut down its last coal power station in 2016.

The burning of coal for heat and power in Sweden will stop in 2022, which is the deadline for the combined heat and power plant in Stockholm. The Västerås plant, 100 kilometres west of Stockholm, unloaded its last coal in November 2017 and will stop using it in 2020, when a new boiler for recycled waste wood will be commissioned.
In 2021 Linköping, 200 kilometres south of Stockholm, will stop using coal and oil. Sweden’s power system has never used much fossil fuels, due to the country’s huge hydro resources, and an enormous nuclear programme. At the peak it had 12 reactors, of which eight remain, with another two to go by 2020.
Sweden’s power system has never used much fossil fuels, due to the country’s huge hydro resources, and an enormous nuclear programme. At the peak it had 12 reactors, of which eight remain, with another two to go by 2020. In recent years wind power has contributed about 17 TWh, equivalent to about three nuclear reactors.
With Sweden going coal free in the same week as Austria, the downward trajectory of coal in Europe is clear.
