Vattenfall generates annual profit for first time in five years
Reuters / Handelsblatt / Vattenfall
Swedish state-owned utility Vattenfall posted a pretax profit in 2017 despite sluggish electricity demand, helped in part by new wind power capacity, writes news agency Reuters. Vattenfall started operation of two new wind parks in 2017, one of them the offshore wind park Sandbank in the German North Sea, reports the Handelsblatt in a separate article.
