Tafjord Kraftnett AS

Tafjord Kraftnett AS operates as the grid and infrastructure company within the TAFJORD Group, focusing on regulated electric utility activities in Norway. Established in 1997 and headquartered in Ålesund, Norway, it works in the electric utilities industry, where it is responsible for the monopoly business related to the transmission and distribution of electric power in its licensed area. As the local network operator, the company manages the physical power grid and ensures the delivery of electricity from upstream producers and the national transmission system to end users. Within the TAFJORD Group’s structure, Tafjord Kraftnett AS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tafjord Kraft AS, the municipality-owned power and utility company. Tafjord Kraft AS, in turn, is part of the wider TAFJORD Group, which is described as the largest energy company in the northwestern region of Norway and is owned by the Municipality of Ålesund, Eviny and the Municipality of Fjord. In addition to its core electricity network role, Tafjord Kraftnett AS serves as the group’s infrastructure owner for telecommunications activities, providing the underlying physical infrastructure used for telecom and fiber-based services developed elsewhere in the group. Through this combination of grid operations and telecom infrastructure ownership, the company underpins both secure electricity supply and digital connectivity for households and businesses in its service region.
