About

One of Sweden’s main electricity providers, Finnish state-owned energy company Fortum has a significant presence in Sweden’s utilities market, and requires competent and agile legal support to help mitigate business risk amidst a highly scrutinised and regulated industry. The team’s lawyers are adept at dealing with a number of issues that relate to Fortum’s business affairs, including competition law and public procurement. Also thanks to its position at the forefront of Sweden’s energy industry, the team takes on responsibilities for state aid issues and issues related to trading activities in the energy industry, as well as focusing on a number of different purchase agreements. Most recently, the company has started operating a 5MW/6.2 MWh lithium-ion battery storage system at the Forshuvud hydropower plant in Dalarna, a unique solution to secure and sustain Fortum’s supply of energy. This process, assisted by the legal team, has allowed the company to improve the quality and consistency of its hydropower offerings – a green and sustainable energy source.
