  • An oil-fired power plant in southern Sweden owned by German energy giant Uniper suffered a failure early on Thursday when a boiler tripped.
  • The Karlshamn plant experienced the failure for just over an hour on Thursday morning in Sweden.
  • Sweden, one of the EU members with the greenest electricity mix in the bloc—with hydroelectric, nuclear, and wind power dominant—restarted the Karlshamn fuel oil power plant last autumn when the energy crisis in Europe began.
