Statkraft still exploring UK onshore market despite ‘challenges’

Norway’s Statkraft will continue to seek opportunities in the UK onshore wind market despite the current policy challenges there.

Statkraft, which presented its full-year 2016 results today, said its revised strategy will shift its investment portfolio to include more onshore wind and solar, while simultaneously pulling out of the offshore sector.

While the focus will remain on developing business in Norway, Christian Rynning-Tønnesen said the company will explore business opportunities in the UK in the year ahead, amid "positive results" over the past 12 months.
