Nuclear update – post outages on 28 June

• • • • Damage at German nuclear plant Krümmel has been repaired, some work is still under way (e.g. installation of new transformer).

However, following the events, deviant installations of some anchors were detected at Brunsbüttel and Krümmel. The evaluation of the findings is still in progress.

Both plants will remain disconnected from the grid until all replacement work is finished, all questions are clarified and all relevant measures are taken. Q3 financial impact totals approximately EUR 60 million (SEK 555 million) 12 © Vattenfall AB 31 Oct 2007

Increased retail customer churn in Germany

13 • • Some 200,000 customers lost in Germany primarily due to: – – mounting competition in the retail market and customers being increasingly inclined to switch electricity suppliers Vattenfall’s notice of price increases as of 1 July, which resulted in very negative customer reactions – Inadequate information to the general public following the nuclear outages Losses should be viewed against the background of very high market shares (>80%, corresponding to nearly 2.9 million customers) in Berlin and Hamburg • • •

Measures taken

: Improved product offers – – launched a very competitively priced internet product expanded marketing activities throughout Germany, i.e. to areas outside our core German markets in Berlin and Hamburg Launched a large-scale dialogue, inviting all customers as well as the general public to put questions to Vattenfall Establishment of a customer advisory council

© Vattenfall AB 31 Oct 2007

We are growing our market shares in Sweden

14 • We have now exceeded one (1) million customers in the Nordic countries • Our Swedish retail customer market share has grown from 13% to 15%.

• Customer satisfaction index has improved • Vattenfall’s products are considered best in the market

© Vattenfall AB 31 Oct 2007

Major ongoing investment projects

• Lillgrund – the world’s 3 rd largest offshore wind power farm soon to be fully operationable (48 windmills, 110 MW) • Schwarze Pumpe now in place.

– the world’s first CCS oxyfuel pilot plant, to be commissioned in August 2008. Agreement on CO2 storage is • Boxberg – 675 MW lignite power plant under construction • Moorburg – 1,640 MW CHP plant still pending final approval from the City of Hamburg • Reopening of the Reichwalde lignite mine in Germany • Extensive transmission grid investments in Germany • Several renewable energy projects in Germany and Sweden 15

EU’s 3

rd

Energy package launched 19 September

Vattenfall’s response:

• This offers a unique opportunity to further improve the market’s function and to speed up market development through integration of national markets into regional markets and finally the Internal Market for Energy • We believe that an integrated energy market is a prerequisite for the competitiveness of Europe • We believe having Regional System Operators (RIO) is the best way to achieve integration • We are positive to creating an Agency for Cooperation of National Energy Regulators • We support the proposed new Network for Transmission System Operators (ENTSO) • We believe, however, that additional measures are needed to reach the target

© Vattenfall AB 31 Oct 2007

Vision and growth strategy remains firm

• Vattenfall’s vision is to be a leading European energy company • Within our “growth ambition” we will – Continue to be an integrated company and focus on generation of electricity and heat – Expand in core and geographically close markets where value can be created – Use both M&A and greenfield investments as tools for growth • More focus on renewables, CCS, nuclear and CHP • Increased focus on our “benchmark ambition” and operational performance 17

Highlights Q3 2007 - Nordic

28 • EBIT almost flat compared with Q3 2006 • Sharp decline in Nordic spot prices mitigated by hedging.

• Higher electricity generation due to increased hydro and nuclear power.

• Lower results in Distribution due to a provision of approx. SEK 100 million for restructuring measures.

• Lower results in Heat due to an impairment loss of SEK 195 million of a CHP plant in Finland.

• The Lillgrund windpower farm has started to generate electricity. When fully operational it will be the largest windpower farm in Sweden and the third largest offshore farm in the world.

Highlights Q3 2007 - Germany

• Significantly higher EBIT, + SEK1,279 million to SEK 3,173 million (+67,5%).

(+ 71.2% excl. IAC). • Main part of EBIT improvement pertains to an impairment loss of SEK 931 million in Q3 2006 in business unit Distribution.

• Mining & Generation increased its result despite unplanned nuclear outages thanks to higher fossil power and successful hedging. • NAP2 - Total national emissions cut to 453 million tonnes per year (NAP1 was 499 million tonnes). Vattenfall estimates a yearly deficit of approx. 28-33 million tonnes. Estimated cost (after tax) totals EUR 400-500 million • Continued pressure from the Regulator (BNetzA) on transmission tariffs • Lowered German corporate income tax by approx. 10 percentage points.

The impact on profit after tax is 950 MSEK for Q3 and 2,850 for 9M 2007 30
