Energy and resource consumption

In 2009, Statkraft consumed 1359 GWh of electricity, excluding energy loss in transformer stations and power lines. The energy consumption related to pumped storage power and electric boilers, 908 GWh, has been included in this figure. All electricity used to operate plants and offices has been certified as renewable in accordance with RECS.

A project carried out in 2009 at the Nore and Aura power plant groups has identified an energy savings potential for Statkraft's power plants in Norway of 30 GWh, mainly through automatic management of lighting, heat and ventilation.
