Statkraft has been making clean energy possible for over 130 years, driven by a clear purpose: to power the world with renewable energy and play a leading role in the fight against climate change. We don’t see renewable energy as part of the solution — we believe it must be the solution.

Statkraft is the Norwegian State’s renewable energy company and Europe’s largest renewable energy generator. In the US, Statkraft US LLC operates a dynamic commodity trading business, transacting across OTC and derivative markets covering the breadth of US energy products. Through strong market positions and strategic partnerships, we are helping drive the transition to a low‑carbon future.
