Many people have strong opinions regarding wind power in Norway, but are they based on the right facts?

Wind and hydro power complement each other. They interact in the delivery of the most emission-free, energy-efficient and cost-effective electric power there is. It is a myth that these two unique sources of energy are in conflict with each other – in fact, it is quite the contrary.

It would be wrong to claim that Norway gives away precious values and the right to use its own land area when international companies buy power from Norwegian wind farms.

There will be an increasing demand for environmentally friendly power in the years ahead. The signals are numerous and strong, and reflect the increased awareness of climate issues.

Until recently, the gas power plant at Kårstø was able to produce 3TWh of electric power based on the burning of 6 TWh of natural gas, at full production.

Global companies, such as Google, Apple, IKEA and Facebook, etc., have a goal to become 100% based on renewable energy in all their operations, and have started to act accordingly.

Sustainability is possible throughout the entire value chain. Here are some examples of what is about to happen in London involving the companies Hydro and Norgesgruppen/ASKO.
