Fortum

I tio år har vi samarbetat med CoGig | Female Leader Engineer! Vi behöver fler kvinnliga ledare i ingenjörsbranschen och samarbetet ger oss möjlighet att visa upp vad energibranschen har att erbjuda, men också att rekrytera unga talanger. Idag hade vi äran att välkomna deltagarna från Female Leader Engineer till vårt kontor i Solna! Dagen bjöd på spännande samtal om ledarskap och elmarknaden. Vi fick också lyssna på Katarina Atteryd Eckerwall Eckerwall, tidigare vinnare av Female Leader Engineer, som berättare om sin inspirerande resa på Fortum. Dagen avrundades med föreläsning om traiding och massor av mingel!   Tack Female Leader Engineer för en fantastisk dag! ⭐

We’ll need a balanced energy system to drive the transformation. During the Industry 4.0 conference, hosted by Dagens Industri on October 1st, a broad array of industry representatives gathered. Mats Persson, SVP Market Intelligence and Flexibility at Fortum, spoke about the need for a balanced energy system that can deliver clean energy at scale for the green transition. There was more than energy being discussed during the conference, from deep dives into AI driven development in many different aspects to discussions about the need to develop complete values chains in different regions to mitigate the effects of a growing regional protectionism. All of these topics will significantly impact both Fortum’s operating environment and the green transition.

First batch of Westinghouse Electric Company's fuel is now loaded at Fortum’s Loviisa nuclear power plant reactor two during annual outages ⛽🔋 The loading of the new fuel is a significant milestone that guarantees a reliable Western alternative for fuel deliveries to the Loviisa power plant. During the annual outages in 2023, one test element manufactured by Westinghouse, which did not contain actual uranium pellets, was loaded into the Loviisa 2 reactor of the power plant. The test element was used to obtain mechanical operating experiences of the new fuel type. In this year's annual outages, the test element was found to have worked as expected. The safe and reliable operation of our Loviisa Nuclear Power Plant is crucial for Finland's security of supply 💚 Read more in the press release 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/dTFBS88J #nuclear
