Our approach to innovation
At Statkraft, we are committed to creating a world where renewable energy powers every industry, business and home. Innovation lies at the heart of this commitment.
To keep our planet’s temperature below breaking point, meet the growing demand for energy, and close the energy gap for the nearly one billion people in the world who still have no access to electricity, renewable energy can’t be part of the solution. It must be the solution.
Innovation has been at our core from the start and continues to be one of the values that guide our actions. With our know-how and capability, and willingness to develop new business opportunities, we are positioned to play a leading role.
Our ambition is to drive partnerships that transform industry sectors far beyond our own, bring new market solutions to maturity, and put renewable energy to work in new ways. Our leadership in new technologies is shaping how others can be incentivised to reduce their emissions.
"We stand united in driving towards a green energy society."
