Statnett SF is the Norwegian transmission system operator (TSO) responsible for the country's high-voltage electricity grid. The company owns, operates, and develops the national power transmission network, ensuring the secure and efficient transport of electricity from producers to consumers across Norway.
Headquartered in Oslo, Statnett manages grid capacity, balances the power system in real time, and facilitates cross-border electricity trade with neighboring countries such as Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands. It plays a central role in integrating renewable energy sources, including hydropower and wind power, into the grid while supporting the electrification of industry and transport.
Wholly owned by the Norwegian state through the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, Statnett operates as a state enterprise. The company is actively involved in major infrastructure projects to expand transmission capacity, addressing growing demand from sectors such as data centers and supporting Norway's broader energy transition goals.
In the Nordic electricity market, Statnett is a key participant in Nord Pool and contributes to the stability and development of the regional power system. Its operations are regulated to ensure non-discriminatory access to the grid for all market participants.
