RENERGY unites to drive collaborative innovation and accelerate investment decisions and scaling over the next three years. The goal is to develop solutions that work in harmony with the power grid, make renewable energy more accessible and support sectors such as transport, industry and buildings in the energy transition.
The Norwegian Energy Commission has set a target of 40 TWh new reneawble energy and 20 TWh energy efficiency by 2030. However, individual measures alone are not enough, and the establishment of new power production and grid infrastructure takes too long.
With support from NHO, Renewables Norway, LO, and others, RENERGY focuses its efforts on faster innovation and scaling, adapted to the needs of new and growing markets. The cluster is a key driver for realizing solutions that increase production efficiency, make better use of the existing grid, and reduce energy consumption across sectors.
RENERGY works strategically to scale up zero-emission energy solutions. We build strong cooperations that connect industry, capital, technolog, and authorities with one common goal: investment decisions and market deployment.
The cluster has already triggered over NOK 600 million through major projects such as ZeroKyst, Pilot-E Ubåt, Hyway Alliance and Hydrogen Valley. This experience makes us a key player when solutions need to move from testing to real-world implementation.
We see that many promising innovations stall before they reach the market. That’s why RENERGY specializes in the work that comes after the pilot phase: we help with business models, consortium agreements, regulatory navigation and market positioning — everything needed to succeed at scale.
With our system perspective and broad network across industry and government, we make it easier for our members to realize concrete projects that cut emissions and strengthen the energy system.
