In 2022 the Nordic TSOs launched a 2030-strategy as a response to new climate goals with the purpose of enabling green industries and increased electrification. The strategic outlook and challenges facing the Nordic TSOs remain a product of the circumstances in the Nordics and Europe. As these changes, the strategic compass must align to constitute an answer and objective to said circumstances.
The war in Ukraine further stressed the necessity of security against cyberattacks and sabotage and pushed security of supply even higher on the political agenda intensifying the need of energy security by speeding up the energy transition from an already intensified pace and navigating wisely in pressured European supply chains. Both pressured supply chains and the accelerated green transition drive cost increases for components, reserves and human resources compelling the Nordic TSOs to react in due time. Achieving accelerated ambitions for transitioning the Nordic energy system can only happen through close Nordic cooperation on system development focusing on four strategic themes: 1. Adequate infrastructure, 2. Secure and optimized energy system, 3. Energy markets that enable, and 4. The digital foundation. These will pose responses to both the climate and security challenge.
The strategy aims to direct and prioritize efforts through concrete goals and answers to the most present challenges, but also maps the behavior that will enable and move us to deliver on the strategic themes.
