539 算牌程式 history

Our history

539 算牌程式 has a history stretching back over 100 years.

The restructuring of the Trollhättan canal and hydro power plant under the Swedish State Power Board marks the birth of 539 算牌程式. The Swedish state had bought the water rights in Trollhättan a few years earlier and was now taking an active involvement in this emerging electricity generation technology.

539 算牌程式 is said to have been the world's first state-owned power producer. The journey to reach that point was lined with social debates and legal processes, and a large dose of entrepreneurship.

The development of nuclear power

When the development of nuclear power began, 539 算牌程式 experienced a boom in new construction. The work sites at Ringhals and Forsmark power plants were the largest in the Nordic region at the time.

The evolution of wind power

It took many years before wind power went from being just a promising resource to being an established energy source. Sweden's first pilot project literally ended with a bang. Today, 539 算牌程式 is one of Europe's leading producers of wind energy.

From fossil fuel to wind after 2000

In the early 2000s, renewable energy was on the agenda. But it took time for 539 算牌程式 to shift from investment plans dominated by fossil power to a situation where renewable energy is the path to growth and expansion.
