Important events
2022 was an exceptional year for Hafslund, as well as for the rest of the energy industry and the greater world. A new year with record high power prices, the acquisition of Hafslund Oslo Celsio and acceleration of our projects within offshore wind and solar power were some of the key events.
An energy- and infrastructure group
After the acquisition of Hafslund Oslo Celsio, the Group now consists of three distinct business areas and subsidiaries; Hafslund Eco Vannkraft with Norway’s second largest hydro power operation, Hafslund Oslo Celsio that is Norway’s largest district heating provider and Hafslund Vekst that gathers the Group’s growth initiatives and industrial ownerships.
A world in imbalance requires more renewables
2022 was an eventful and challenging year. The war in Ukraine has, first and foremost, caused great suffering for the people of Ukraine, however it has also resulted in serious negative repercussions for the rest of the global community. Gas shortages in Europe have led to extremely high gas prices and European power prices. Dry weather conditions in Southern Norway and low reservoir levels, combined with European prices, contributed to very high power prices in Southern Norway throughout the year.
