New organization for renewable energy
Norwegian Minister for Oil and Energy Terje Riis-Johansen has presented the new organization Norwegian Renewable Energy Partners, INTPOW.
The new organization is meant to improve coordination and communication between Norwegian and foreign companies within the renewable energy sector and make Norwegian energy industry more powerful internationally, a press release from the Norwegian government reads.
INTPOW is built on the same structure as the already well established petroleum network INTSOK, which was started in 1997 to help companies from the Norwegian oil and gas business to gain market shares abroad, but INTPOW will focus on renewable sources like hydroelectric power, wind power, bio energy and solar power.
Key members in the new organizations are the owner of the Norwegian power grid Statkraft, Nexas Norway and Det Norske Veritas.
