Agesta nuclear power plant is a retired nuclear power station in Stockholm, Sweden. Its current lifecycle status is “Retired” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. It ranks #147 of 178 Sweden power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, nuclear supplies about 27.6% of Sweden's electricity; the national grid averages 35 gCO₂/kWh (98.8% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares
Technically it is described as pressurized heavy water reactor. Its lifecycle status is Retired; it no longer generates electricity. Nuclear plants split uranium to raise steam with no direct CO₂; they run as steady baseload with very high capacity factors and the longest operating lifetimes of any thermal plant.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
