Our strategy
For over a century, we’ve delivered clean, reliable power. Today, we continue that mission; being a competitive and integrated renewable energy company, at the forefront of the energy transition.
Statkraft’s corporate strategy was renewed in 2025 to reflect a changing world and a more complex energy market.
The energy transition is still moving forward. But the pace is slower than expected, and the market conditions have shifted. Power price forecasts are lower. Costs are higher. And the need for flexibility and competitiveness is greater than ever.
We contribute to the green transition by developing, operating and owning renewable energy assets, strengthening security of energy supply, and enabling well-functioning energy markets. Through our activities, we support economic development, reduce emissions, and help ensure a stable and affordable energy supply in the countries where we operate.
Going forward we will streamline our portfolio and operations – focusing our efforts on fewer technologies and fewer markets. We prioritise profitability over volume growth. We invest where we have a competitive advantage. And we create value by developing, operating and owning renewable energy assets and by delivering market solutions that support the energy transition.
Our strategy is shaped by three ambitions:
A competitive developer of renewable assets
Prioritising:
- Hydropower development in Nordics
- Development of onshore wind, solar and battery and grid services in Nordics, Europe and South America
- Technologies and projects with shorter time to cash flow

- Strategically owning and developing a balanced and diversified portfolio of flexible and intermittent assets, catering to future market needs. Primarily hydropower, onshore wind, solar and battery and grid services
