Statkraft is in a unique position in the energy industry. With a history in renewables that spans 130 years, we’ve grown from a single hydro plant in Norway, to Europe’s largest generator of renewable energy. This is a heritage we’re immensely proud of.
But more than this, in the UK we stand out as offering the broadest range of services and technologies required for a successful energy transition. Our activities across Scotland, England and Wales span traditional hydropower, wind and solar development, innovative green hydrogen, grid stability services and batteries, and the project optimisation and route to market services essential for a thriving renewables market.
This multi-tech approach and knowledge all within one organisation allows us to bring a unique perspective to our activities. We’re able to stay open minded and consider what is suitable at a location or for a customer – this could be a combination of technologies, such as solar and battery storage, rather than a single solution, it could be the location for a grid stability project, or an opportunity where the renewables could be powering an electrolyser, generating green hydrogen.
Our expertise have led to Statkraft’s position as a leading renewables trader, with a view of the associated innovation required to optimise new technologies, to create a route to market for the energy generated and to ensure there are healthy trading mechanisms in place. Without this piece of the puzzle, developers of new technologies wouldn’t be profitable and the industry wouldn’t be able to progress.
And we’re constantly evaluating whether existing policies and funding mechanisms will support what’s to come, or hinder progress, working with governments and trade bodies to drive the industry forward.
It’s this holistic view of the energy market that allows Statkraft to play a pivotal role in the UK’s energy transition to renewables. To discuss further please visit us at All-Energy stand L30 or find out more at our website www.statkraft.co.uk.
