🌬️ A Day to Remember in Chile! 🎉 Last week, we proudly launched three brand-new wind farms—Cardonal, Manantiales, and Los Cerrillos—in Chile’s O’Higgins Region. With a combined capacity of over 100 MW, these farms will generate 330 GWh of clean energy annually, the equivalent to powering 100,000 homes 💨🏡 We were honoured to celebrate this milestone with Energy Minister Diego Pardow, Regional Minister Claudio I. Martínez Molina, Norway’s Ambassador Per Anders Nilsen, EVP International Ingeborg Dårflot, and the incredible Statkraft Chile team, whose dedication made this vision a reality 👏

We are thrilled to announce that Fernando De Lapuerta is stepping into the role of Executive Vice President International at Statkraft, starting 1 January 2025 🌎🎉    Fernando has been a driving force behind our growth and achievements in Brazil, and we’re certain that his deep expertise and years of hands-on experience in renewable energy will help us create even more opportunities and impact in our international operations, particularly in South America.    Hailing from Spain, Fernando has spent nearly two decades taking on senior leadership roles in the renewable energy industry across different continents. With a solid foundation in both business and law, combined with his time working in Spain, Panama, Brazil, and Norway, Fernando has been an indispensable part of the Statkraft story since he joined over ten years ago.     Fernando succeeds Ingeborg Dårflot who has been appointed EVP for the new business area, Technology and Project Delivery.      Let’s give Fernando a warm welcome as he takes on this exciting new chapter! 👏

Talayuela II, our solar park in Spain, has been honoured with the Seal of Excellence in Sustainability by the Spanish Solar Association 🌞 This acknowledgment reflects the care we put into operating responsibly and protecting the environment 🌍 With 55.2 MW of capacity, Talayuela II goes beyond producing clean energy—it recycles 90% of construction waste and works in harmony with its surroundings, both natural and social 🌿 See for yourself! 📸👇

Why settle for blue when green is the future? ✅ Hydrogen is a highly versatile energy source that can power trucks, generate heat, and be used as raw material. It doesn’t produce any greenhouse gas emissions when burned, but the method used to produce it determines how environmentally friendly it is. Many say that green hydrogen is difficult. We’re prepared to offer it. And as Europe’s largest renewable producer, we can power it ⚡ This week, we look forward to participating in European Hydrogen Week, from 18-22 November. Join us at the Business Norway pavilion in Hall 11, Stand C90! 💡

Solar panel end-of-life reuse ♻️, fully automated energy management ⚡, and building information modelling to drive value creation – how do we best do it? In November, we united colleagues from 46 units within Statkraft to tackle some of our key challenges on the road to renew the way the world is powered 🌍 It is the fourth time we have hosted a hackathon focused on business for the future, and it keeps on giving. Gathering diverse personalities and perspectives for two and a half intense days of problem solving creates not only great, innovative ideas but also friendships across countries and subjects 💡 A huge thanks to everyone involved for your dedication and creativity. See you next year! 🙏

Vamos com tudo, Brasil! ⚡ Exciting things are happening at the Morro do Cruzeiro Solar park ☀️ Construction is in full swing for Statkraft’s very first hybrid renewable energy complex in Brazil, and solar panels are now being installed. We're cranking up the pace, aiming to install around 2,000 panels every single day! In total, there will be about 108,000 solar panels on-site. During the busiest period of the project, around 500 workers will be hard at work, each playing a role in transforming the way energy is produced and used 💪 This hybrid energy setup will let us generate both wind and solar energy in the same location. It’s a huge step forward in our mission to help Brazil and the world move toward greener, cleaner energy solutions 🌍

Mer, part of Statkraft, is advancing its efforts to support sustainable mobility by expanding its EV charging infrastructure in Austria through a new partnership with MPREIS. The collaboration will bring up to 64 new fast-charging stations to key MPREIS locations, making it easier for drivers to charge their electric vehicles while supporting the shift to cleaner, greener transportation 🌍 The charging stations will be supplied with 100% green electricity, reinforcing Mer’s commitment to clean energy and sustainability. This is a significant step in supporting the mobility transition in Austria, making electric vehicles a more viable option for everyday use 🚗⚡

Solar and wind collectively could provide more than 50% of the global power output by 2035 rising to 68% by 2050 😮 📊 Our Green Transition Scenarios 2024 report projects the collective power output of wind and solar to quadruple by 2030 and increase 1300% by 2050 globally in its most optimistic scenario. That would make them collectively the world's dominant sources of power generation. In this scenario, solar and wind alone provide more than 50% of the global power output from 2035 onwards, rising up to 68% by 2050. But what do our analysts see is driving the projections? 🌬 When it comes to onshore wind, cost has continued to decline despite challenges experienced over the last three years (in the bigger picture, the cost of wind power fell by more than 30% between 2010 and 2020). And while the report envisions the recent rise in turbine costs impacting projects commissioned between 2023 and 2025, the industry is experiencing a plateauing and stabilisation of turbine prices. In the longer term, costs are expected to trend downwards, driven by a normalisation of material prices and pricing competition between manufacturers. 🌞 Solar’s rise is defined by two consistent factors: falling costs and the short time to build. Added to this is solar’s relatively predictable production time and flexibility in terms of location. Importantly for solar, too, recent cost increases driven by inflated material prices and strained supply chains have begun to ease with raw materials mostly back to pre-pandemic levels. 👇 This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the report’s projections.
