Ownership

Vattenfall is 100% owned by the Kingdom of Sweden.

Issues

Environmental issues

Vattenfall, owned by the state of Sweden, currently releases twice the amount of CO2 as the whole country of Sweden.

Other issues

Nuclear power plant Forsmark had a serious accident in 2006. Shortly afterwords there was a series of accidents in the German plants Brunsbuettel and Kruemmel. After those accidents Vattenfall tried to conceal important facts and had a negative press because of the misinformation.  Vattenfall is promoting nuclear power as an "important part of making electricity clean" despite all negative headlines they are producing with their plants.
