The Statkraft Group is the third largest producer of electricity in the Nordic region, and the second largest producer of electricity based on renewable energy sources in Europe. The group produces 42TWh per year and engages in power trading from offices in the Nordic region and on the Continent. In Norway, the group runs its power grid and end-user operations via regional companies in which Statkraft owns shares.

Statkraft has taken an activ position within offshore wind, wave and tidal energy. Among other things they have initiated a research program where they spend approx €10m on offshore renewable energy in cooperation with the three Scandinavian universities NTNU, DTU and Uppsala. The three universities match the statkraft funding and thereby double the budget.

The Centre for Renewable Energy (SFFE) combines the competence of NTNU, SINTEF and IFE within the field of renewable energy, as well as initiating innovative and pertinent research tasks. Research fields include small scale hydropower, wind, solar, wave, and bio-energy as well as the social dimensions of energy use.

In association with Norwegian industry, SFFE aims to contribute to strategies and knowledge for the innovation and development of new renewable energy technologies. The principal aim of this cooperation is to improve the environment as well as creating values.

The UK Energy Research Centre's mission is to be the UK's pre-eminent centre of research, and source of authoritative information and leadership, on sustainable energy systems.
