Energy Valley and Capgemini på Arendalsuka: Strømkrisen truer industriutviklingen. Hvordan rigger Norge for videre vekst?

13 – 13 Aug09:00 – 10:00
Edgars Bakeri

Norges kraftsystem er under press. Strømnettet vårt har ikke kapasitet til å møte etterspørselen fra ny industri, elektrifisering og grønn omstilling. Resultatet? Utsatte investeringer, høye priser – og i verste fall strømutkoblinger.

En rekke rapporter slår fast det samme: Vi trenger mer effekt, bedre nett – og smartere løsninger. Samtidig er den offentlige debatten ofte fastlåst i konfliktlinjer rundt vindkraft, «monstermaster» og lokal motstand.

Men finnes det andre veier frem?

Capgemini og Energy Valley inviterer til en engasjerende samtale om hvordan teknologi, fleksibilitet og smartere forbruk kan være nøkkelen til å avlaste nettet – og sikre kraft til ny industriutvikling. Vi samler politikere, eksperter og representanter fra næringslivet for å diskutere hva som må til for å sikre robust kraftforsyning og forutsigbarhet i et stadig mer elektrifisert samfunn.

– Hva gjør myndighetene for å sikre tilstrekkelig kapasitet i strømnettet?
– Kan digital styring, lokal produksjon og batteriteknologi gi industrien større fleksibilitet?
– Er små modulære reaktorer en del av løsningen – eller en avsporing?
– Hvordan kan software, data og kunstig intelligens brukes til å optimalisere energibruken?

Vi ser nærmere på konkrete eksempler der effektkrevende lading løses gjennom smart styring av andre strømforbrukere.

Dette er ikke bare en strømdebatt. Det er en samtale om fremtiden for norsk industri, teknologi og grønn vekst. Er vi klare til å lade opp for neste kapittel?

TechThursday #5 – Subsea Technology & Innovation

26 – 26 Jun08:00 – 09:30
SIGN UP NOW

Subsea – A Strategic Industrial Stronghold in Transition

The Eastern Norway region has long been home to world-leading subsea engineering environments – forming the foundation for what was originally established as Subsea Valley. In 2019, the cluster was renamed Energy Valley to reflect a broader commitment to the energy transition and a stronger emphasis on renewable technologies.

Still, a majority of Energy Valley’s 100+ members remain strongly anchored in subsea – particularly in the oil and gas sector. Over time, many have expanded their focus to support offshore wind, subsea cables and pipelines, carbon storage, and seabed minerals.

This TechThursday explores how subsea technology and innovation continue to evolve – not just as legacy infrastructure, but as a key enabler for the future energy system.
