Statnett
Statnett is the system operator in the Norwegian energy system and a state enterprise owned by the Norwegian state through the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. Their mission is securing power supply through operations, monitoring and preparedness, facilitating the realisation of Norway's climate objectives, and facilitating creation of value for their customers and the society in general.
Statnett plays a key role in the green transition in Norway by facilitating electrification and contributing to the goal of zero emissions by 2050. They are preparing to respond to a large expected increase in power consumption in Norway in the coming years. According to Statnett's analyses, current power consumption of around 140 TWh could rise to up to 260 TWh in 2050. Significantly increased capacity in the grid and increased power production will be necessary in the near future to meet the consumption increases required by society's various goals.

Elisabeth Vike Vardheim, CEO, on Statnett joining RGI:
"Statnett will plan, build and operate the grid faster and more efficiently while increasing robustness and preparedness in both operations and development. RGI is an important meeting place in Europe to share knowledge and learn how we ensure that the development of the grid happens in the best possible way for the nature and local communities we affect."
