About Sweden
Sweden currently has no operating coal plants or proposals for new coal plants, making it coal free. The country retired its last coal-fired power plant in 2020 (two years earlier than anticipated), making it the third European country to complete its phase out of coal power. Electricity is now generated through hydropower, nuclear, wind, bioenergy, and other fossil fuels. Sweden has been part of the Powering Past Coal Alliance since 2017 and has committed to no new coal; it has also pledged to be carbon neutral by 2045. In 2021, Sweden agreed to halt export guarantees (foreign financing) to the fossil fuel sector abroad.
