Klimatoppmøtet er en viktig arena for selskap som jobber med det grønne skiftet, og Statnett har en viktig rolle når det gjelder å legge til rette for at Norge kan nå klimamålene gjennom elektrifisering og grønn verdiskaping.

Nettet på land og til havs er ett sammenhengende kraftsystem, og helhetlig planlegging er viktig for å utvikle nettet på en bærekraftig og samfunnsmessig rasjonell måte, som tar hensyn til sameksistens.

Arrangementet vil foregå på engelsk. 

 

Grids as the Critical Enabler for the Green Transition

Statnett will host an event at the COP28 conference in Dubai on Sunday 3rd December 2023 called "Grids as the Critical Enabler for the Green Transition", where we will have a cross-value chain discussion on the crucial role of electricity grids in the green transition between CEOs from grid operators, electricity producers, and technology providers.

The panel will have an opening keynote speech by the Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Espen Bart Eide.

We will look at grids as a key prerequisite for the energy transition, the need for anticipatory investments working back from climate targets rather than forwards from the status quo and our complex supply chain needs for technology, materials, and expertise.
