Arendalsuka 2025 recap

*Event participants ahead of the two panel discussions*

Together with Capgemini, Energy Valley was proud to host an event focused on the electricity crisis and its impact on industry at this year’s Arendalsuka.

The problem: Norway’s electricity grid doesn’t have the capacity to meet the demand from new industries, electrification, and the green transition. This is resulting in delayed investments, high prices, and — in the worst cases — power outages.

Multiple reports (including Riksrevisjonen’s “Kapasiteten i strømnettet“) have confirmed: we need more capacity, a better grid, and smarter solutions. But how do we get there?

The hour-long event was split into two panels and took a look at the situation surrounding Norway’s power system, tackling topics such as:

What the authorities are doing to ensure sufficient grid capacity
Whether digital control, local production, and battery technology can give industry greater flexibility
Whether small, modular reactors are part of the solution… or merely a distraction
How software, data, and AI can be used to optimize energy usage

During the lively event, participants delved into what was more than just a debate. It was a conversation about the future of Norwegian industry, technology, and green growth.

Key takeaways

Energy Valley’s Knut Linnerud wrapped up the event with a summary of some of the key points made:

Firstly, the session clearly demonstrated that the challenges in the power system are significant… but they are NOT insurmountable and the solutions are already well known.
Yara emphasized that expanding the grid is absolutely crucial for continued industrial development.
At the same time, Morrow highlighted how battery technology can contribute to power balance and flexibility within the system.
A key starting point for Norway is that we already possess a form of “battery capacity” through our water reservoirs, which is equivalent to millions of car batteries. This gives us a unique opportunity to further balance power in collaboration with Europe, ensuring more stability and affordable access to electricity.
Effective power balancing is the key to succeeding in the transition to renewable energy and securing sufficient electricity. Everything is interconnected (as Gro Harlem Brundtland notably said in the context of climate challenges) and the ability to execute is critical.
Coordinated, concrete plans and actions are required between industry, the energy sector, and government.

We’d like to issue a big THANK YOU to all who participated in the event and those who came out to watch it live. If you missed the event (or would like a reminder of it) take a look at the slideshow below.

AIREL Takes the Stage: Innovating Forestry Management for Norway’s Grid Companies

*Frøydis Arntzen Dale, Design Manager at AIREL. Photo: Helena Jensby*

This October, Energy Valley sat down with Frøydis Arntzen Dale, Design Manager at AIREL, to discuss their cutting-edge approach to forestry management for grid companies and their opportunity to present at Energirampen’s Pitch Night during the energy industry´s IT conference, “Teknologioptimistene.”

The story of AIREL

“AIREL?” Many first-time listeners struggle with the pronunciation (it’s Air-el), but the name is intentional: AIREL stands for AI, Air, Relations, and Electricity. The company combines these four pillars to provide digital solutions to long-standing challenges in forestry management and energy infrastructure.

As Frøydis explains, AIREL´s founder, Magne Kaspersen, saw first-hand the inefficiencies in grid management when working at Norgesnett in 2019. “With a unique combination of forestry and IT expertise, he spotted areas for improvement that others overlooked, and that’s how AIREL was born,” she shares.

AIREL is set on transforming forest clearing along power lines, estimating an impressive 56 million NOK in savings for their first customer, Norgesnett.

What is AIREL´s edge?

“We combine forestry expertise with tech savvy, which is rare. Magne is both a forester and a developer, and that’s why we can bridge the knowledge gap that often exists between these two fields,” Frøydis explains.

“Grid companies could attempt what we’re doing, but having expertise under one roof means we’re a few steps ahead, especially with five years of field testing.”

This industry experience allows AIREL to optimize processes and automate areas of grid management that others hesitate to tackle.

“It is a topic that many may find a bit unsexy. There’s this whole part of the grid that a lot of people don’t want to touch – but there’s a lot to fix there!” Frøydis says with a smile.

“The sector is ripe for digitalization, and there’s a lot of savings to be made through automation and AI,” she adds.

Pitching in front of Norway’s energy IT decision-makers

Through our partnership with Energirampen, Energy Valley worked closely with Nicolai Kirkeng Vennerød, founder of Energirampen, to select three startups to pitch in front of 450 people at the energy industry´s IT conference. Our Head of Innovation and Ecosystem was invited to introduce Frøydis Arntzen Dale on stage.

*Energy Valley’s Head of Innovation, Ola Jacobsen, introduces AIREL´s Frøydis Arntzen Dale at the energy industry´s IT conference. Photo: Agnes Etienne*.

Just hours before the event, Frøydis reflected on the aim of their pitch: “We’re not trying to win over investors; we’re looking for partners and customers. The secret to a good pitch is to tailor the message and maybe even provoke a little. You want to grab attention, but in a way that shows we’re bringing something different,” Frøydis shares.

“It’s not influencer-style provoking,” she laughs. “But more about daring to ask the real questions that matter.”

“In a tough competition with a lot of impressive companies, Frøydis and AIREL early stood out as a favorite with their well-thought-out pitch, clear value proposition, and exciting team! It was a true pleasure to introduce AIREL on stage in front of 450 potential stakeholders,” Ola shared after the event.

Looking to the future

For AIREL, digitalization, AI, and security are front and center in their vision. “AI, LiDAR data, and smart data models drive our approach, and it’s great to see that this shift in focus is a priority at this year’s conference,” Frøydis concludes.

Vi tok pulsen på energibransjen med live podcasts under ONS: Hør samtalene her

Preben Strøm i Energy Valley (t.v.) og Ole Erik Almlid (t.h.) i NHO diskuterer norsk energipolitikk med Jan M Moberg i Teknisk Ukeblad under live-innspilling av Teknisk Sett. *Foto: Helena Jensby.*

Under årets ONS (Offshore Northern Seas) i Stavanger tok Energy Valley og Teknisk Ukeblad pulsen på energibransjen med live podcasts. Episodene, som er en del av Teknisk Sett, tar for seg bransjens utfordringer og muligheter, med innsikt fra sjefene i NHO og Fornybar Norge. Preben Strøm, CCO i Energy Valley, deltok også i samtalene ledet av teknologiredaktør Jan M Moberg.

Norsk energipolitikk, rammevilkår og gründere

I den første episoden diskuterer Ole Erik Almlid (NHO) og Preben Strøm (Energy Valley) viktigheten av forutsigbarhet og langsiktige perspektiver for å håndtere dagens energipolitiske utfordringer. Almlid understreker behovet for å “gå tilbake til det grunnleggende” i politikken. Blant NHO-sjefens kjepphester er at vi som nasjon er i ferd med å miste en hel generasjon gründere.

Hør episoden her og bli oppdatert på Almlids syn på fremtidens teknologi-Norge.

Norges fremtid som energinasjon

I den andre episoden gir Åslaug Marie Haga (Fornybar Norge) oss status på utviklingen innen fornybar energi og perspektiver på Norges fremtid som energinasjon. Hun påpeker at energiskiftet er nødvendig – selv om det kommer med en kostnad. Et av hennes hovedpoeng er at vi må endre fokus fra at det grønne skiftet er krevende til å se på de mange mulighetene det bringer.

Lytt til episoden her og få med deg Fornybar Norge-sjefens kommentarer til årets «oljemesse.»

Podcastene er tilgjengelige på Teknisk Ukeblad, Spotify og Apple Podcasts.

Kunstig intelligens (KI) i energibransjen: skal vi lede an eller følge etter?

Se arrangementet fra Arendalsuka her

I en tid der digitale løsninger og muligheter raskt endrer landskapet i alle industrier, står energibransjen ved en kritisk skillevei. Regjeringens visjon, som uttrykt i “Nasjonal strategi for kunstig intelligens” (2020), er at Norge skal kapitalisere på innovasjonspotensialet som kunstig intelligens (KI) tilbyr. Med en sterk kunnskapsbase innen olje og gass, samt en voksende fornybar energisektor, har Norge en unik mulighet til å lede an i integreringen av KI-teknologier for å forbedre effektivitet, bærekraft, sikkerhet og produktivitet.

I september 2023 kunngjorde statsminister Jonas Gahr Støre en investering på én milliard kroner i forskning på KI og digital teknologi.

Med fokus på februar 2024s annonsering, er målet å kanalisere denne “KI-milliarden” til opprettelsen av flere KI-sentre, en strategi som har møtt både applaus og kritikk.

Kritikere peker på utfordringer med fragmentering og siloarbeid som kan hemme nasjonalt og internasjonalt samarbeid, samt utfordringer ved å kunne tiltrekke seg global ekspertise. Dette står i kontrast til Sveriges WASP-program, som bl.a. med nesten 5 milliarder kroner (SEK) i støtte fra Wallenberg-familien, har satset stort på en mer sentralisert tilnærming.

Innenfor energisektoren reiser dette viktige spørsmål: Har Norge, med sine svært gode forutsetninger og allerede etablerte sterke miljøer, det som kreves for å ikke bare følge, men også lede an i KI-utviklingen?

Hvordan kan vi best utnytte KI innen bl.a. smart grids, prediktivt vedlikehold, værprognoser for fornybar energiproduksjon, trading, CCUS etc.?

Og hvordan kan vi sikre at Norge ikke bare holder tritt, men setter standarden for innovasjon og anvendelse av KI i energibransjen?

Disse spørsmålene står sentralt i vår diskusjon, og vi inviterer ledere, eksperter og innovatører fra både energibransjen og KI-feltet til å utforske veien fremover.

Sammen kan vi kartlegge en kurs som sikrer Norges posisjon som en ledende nasjon i den globale energiovergangen, drevet av de mulighetene som kunstig intelligens tilbyr.

Arrangementet innledes av Silvija Seres, en fremtredende KI-ekspert og strategisk rådgiver med bakgrunn fra Oxford og Silicon Valley.

Hvordan skaper vi fornybarbransjens svar på Olympiatoppen?

Se arrangementet fra Arendalsuka her

Norsk suksess i vinter-OL har vist oss at ingen vinner alene. Bak medaljene ligger sterkt felleskap, samarbeid og kompetansedeling til grunn. Olympiatoppens kraftsamling av ressurser og tette samhandling med særforbund og forskningsinstitusjoner gjør både de beste bedre, og de beste flere.

Nå står Norge på terskelen til en ny type gullmedalje: å bli verdensledende innen fornybar energi.

Dessverre må vi erkjenne at Norges energiomstilling har vært som å gå på ski i tungt føre med både feil ski og teknikk:

Nyinnførte skatter tvinger oppstartsbedrifter til å etablere seg i utlandet, og norske bedrifter lokkes til USA på grunn av enorme subsidier. Regjeringen godkjente 19 nye olje- og gassprosjekter i 2023, mens store fornybarselskaper som Ørsted trekker seg ut av Norge. Aksjekursen til Equinor gikk opp 10% da det ble kjent at de ikke vant havvindauksjonen i Sørlige Nordsjø.

Når andre nasjoner suser forbi oss i løypa mot grønnere energiløsninger, er det bekymringsverdig at norske aktører belønnes på børser hvis de ikke investerer i fornybart.

Dersom en liten nasjon som Norge skal snu denne utviklingen og unngå en dårlig plassering i den grønne omstillingen, må vi jobbe sammen og ha lyst til å vinne.

Derfor spør vi: hvordan skaper vi fornybarbransjens svar på Olympiatoppen? Hvilke konkurransefortrinn har vi som nasjon i en situasjon hvor det grønne skiftet er satt på pause, og investorer bare er opptatt av utbytte, olje og gass?

Energy Valley og First House inviterer til dialog om Norges konkurransefortrinn innen fornybarbransjen.

Hvordan kan samarbeid øke vinnersjansene til norske bedrifter? Vil industrien og politikerne det samme? Har vi «vinnerskallen» som kreves for å konkurrere i verdensklassen og ta globalt lederskap? Og klarer vi å hente oss inn etter en særdeles treg etappe?

Arrangementet innledes av tidligere mestvinnende alpinist Kjetil André Aamodt som deler erfaringer fra å skape en kultur for samarbeid og kunnskapsdeling blant enere og individualister.

Vår moderator, Cecilie Ditlev-Simonsen, leder oss gjennom dialogen med deltakere fra industrien, finans, gründermiljøet og politikken.
