  • Magnus Hall Vattenfall AB Annual General Meeting 2016 Ladies and Gentlemen: As You Know, Vattenfall and the Energy Sector Are Cu
    Magnus Hall Vattenfall AB Annual General Meeting 2016 Ladies and Gentlemen: As you know, Vattenfall and the energy sector are currently in a period of major changes. Prices of commodities and electricity have continued to fall dramatically, which has strongly negative consequences for the entire sector. At the same time, customers are taking on an increasingly prominent role, and we are gradually moving away from a large-scale to a more decentralised energy system, which is presenting us with challenges as well as with tremendous opportunities. This development has also resulted in poorer conditions for fossil-based power generation, so given the prevailing market conditions, we are very satisfied that we have now reached an agreement on the sale of our lignite operations. We are company with a long history of dealing with periods of both upturns and downturns in the market. In this picture you see our first hydro power plant in Trollhättan. Since then, Vattenfall has endured periods of both strong expansion and consolidation. We have a heritage that we can be very proud of. The expansion of hydro power, nuclear power and the power grid in Sweden laid the foundation for Sweden’s base industry and created the conditions for our modern society. In the early years, security of supply was a priority policy area. In recent decades, climate change and the environment have become drivers of development, which we fully support. The shift to a renewable energy system is clearly the right vision, but it also entails major challenges – not least in view of today’s European market, with overcapacity and low electricity prices.
