Powering the Green Future, Together

A cold morning in Oslo, back in 2017. Two friends, Ragnvald Nærø and Bjarne Hareide, sat down over a cup of coffee. Ragnvald, with his more than 15-year tenure as a top executive at Statkraft, and Bjarne, with his connections on the global market of innovation, shared a common concern. They saw an energy sector standing at the crossroads of transformation. Both paths were open, but only one led to a sustainable future. That day—Smart Energy Network was born
