Career in renewable and clean energy

Hydropower is the backbone of the Nordic energy system. It is a steady source of power that produces no CO2 emissions. And with only water as an input, the low operating costs of hydropower stabilise the price of electricity for everyone.

We have total of 159 hydropower plants in Finland and Sweden. Added to this we are co-owner in several hydro power plants. We believe hydropower is a necessary form of electricity production in the transition to a sustainable society. Working with its development is being a part of creating a cleaner world and a carbon-free future.

Our nuclear expertise covers the whole life-cycle of nuclear power plants

Energy unites our 700 nuclear profes­sionals, who play an important role in the decar­bonization of our energy system. At Fortum, we have a solid background of over 40 years of safe nuclear opera­tions and we are co-owner of several nuclear power plants in the Nordics.

We implement our own nuclear power projects, have strong focus in nuclear R&D and provide expertise to new nuclear and hydrogen projects. Through extensive inhouse compe­tence we also offer our services to nuclear industry globally and are inves­ti­gating oppor­tu­nities in nuclear new build.
