Fortum (FI0009007132) positions itself as a focused Nordic utility after withdrawing from Russia and completing the Uniper exit in Germany. The company now concentrates on low-carbon power generation and grid-related activities in the Nordic region as outlined on its own strategy pages.

Nordic low-carbon power focus

Fortum states in its corporate profile that its core activities are electricity generation, portfolio management and trading, and district heating, with a strong asset base in hydro and nuclear power in the Nordic countries. The company emphasizes a low-carbon production mix supported by long-lived hydro and nuclear assets.

Simplified group structure after exits

Following the divestment of its Uniper stake to the German state and the exit from its Russian assets, Fortum highlights that the group structure has become more streamlined and Nordic-focused in recent strategy communications. This reduces geopolitical exposure and concentrates capital allocation on its home markets.

How Fortum makes its money

Fortum generates most of its earnings from electricity sales based on hydro and nuclear generation in the Nordic region and related hedging and trading activities, according to its company information. Additional income comes from district heating and other energy-related services in its core markets.
