In addition to the extensive deliveries of electricity, Vattenfall and Outokumpu have also agreed about electricity portfolio management services to be provided by Vattenfall, as well as co-operation on more efficient use of energy.

Hans von Uthmann, senior vice president of Vattenfall and head of Vattenfall Nordic, said: It is a great pride for Vattenfall to sign this really significant partnership with a Nordic heavy industry company outside Sweden. This partnership is a clear testimony to Vattenfall’s excellent relations with Nordic heavy industry. Our deal is unique for the energy industry for its scope and comprises deliveries in both Finland and Sweden.
