Green tech projects could grow northern Sweden’s population by 20 percent
Västerbotten and Norrbotten counties could see 100,000 new residents by 2035 thanks to coming projects such as battery plants and fossil-free steel production.
Construction work is in full swing on a Northvolt plant in Skellefteå, where large-scale battery production for electric vehicles is set to start later this year. When production reaches planned capacity, some 6,000 employees will provide European car industry with lithium-ion battery cells, by Northvolt branded as “the world’s greenest” with a minimal CO2 footprint.
