GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) has entered into a Main Services Agreement (MSA) with AFRY, a leading Swedish engineering, project management and advisory company, to support the deployment of its BWRX-300 Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology.
Through this non-exclusive collaboration, AFRY will deliver engineering and advisory services that leverage its deep sector knowledge, regional expertise and extensive presence across Europe. The collaboration is expected to enable Swedish industries to participate in high-value opportunities linked to the growing European and global SMR market.
Highlighting the significance of the MSA, Jason Cooper, CEO, GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy, said, “This agreement reflects our commitment to building a strong Swedish and European industrial ecosystem around the BWRX-300, going beyond reactor technology to enable long-term collaboration, local capability development and regional value creation. Sweden has a strong industrial base and world-class engineering capabilities, and by working with AFRY we are reinforcing our ability to deliver the BWRX-300 while enabling local industry to play a meaningful role in Europe’s energy transition.”
Delivering their view, Elon Hägg, EVP and Head of Global Division Energy at AFRY, said, “Through the collaboration with GE Vernova Hitachi, we aim to help position Sweden as a key hub in the future SMR value chain as well as advancing Sweden’s nuclear power program. This collaboration connects local expertise with international reach and supports the delivery of reliable, low-carbon energy solutions.”
By combining GVH’s proven BWRX-300 technology and global project experience with AFRY’s sector-engineering strength, the collaboration is designed to support efficient, repeatable, and scalable deployment across multiple projects in Europe.
